Even though Jeju gets a lot of rain, it didn’t have plentiful water. Because the ground is mostly made of basalt, when it rained the water would soak into the ground or flow out into the ocean. Springs where the water that had soaked into the ground would come shooting back up were like the water of life, offering salvation for the thirsty people of Jeju.
