what is the meaning of living water in the bible
Living Water In Jeremiah 2:13 and 17:13, the prophet describes God as "the spring of living water", who has been forsaken by his chosen people Israel.

Fresh water Fresh water habitats are divided into lentic systems, which are the stillwaters including ponds, lakes, swamps and mires; lotic, or running-water systems; and groundwater which flows in rocks and aquifers.

It may also be in direct contact with the underlying underground water. The majority of fresh water on Earth is in ice caps.
