What is fresh water called in the middle of a desert?
A
Wadi
B
Steppe
C
Sahel
D
Oasis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Underground water sources called aquifers supply most oases. In some cases, a natural spring brings the underground water to the surface. At other oases, manmade wells tap the aquifer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water in the oases can come from underground or from above-ground forces like rainstorms, surface rivers and the natural environment of the oasis protecting the oasis zone.

Detailed explanation-3: -An oasis is a lush green area in the middle of a desert, centered around a natural spring or a well. It is almost a reverse island, in a sense, because it is a tiny area of water surrounded by a sea of sand or rock. Oases can be fairly easy to spot-at least in deserts that do not have towering sand dunes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oasis Water guarantees water that is safe with a great clean taste and flavour that is aesthetically pleasing to the senses. And, because of its price, Oasis Water is genuinely affordable, making it ideal for households looking for a safe drinking and cooking water solution.

Detailed explanation-5: -Indeed some of the water is so salty that you can see crystals growing in the water. The salty soil of the oasis continues to be used to build the traditional mudbrick houses which creates a problem. While the salt helps to strengthen the walls of the house, it also melts in the rain.
