Desert Oasis

A desert oasis is a lush, green area in the middle of a desert where water is available, supporting plants, animals, and sometimes human settlements. It often forms around underground springs, rivers, or aquifers that bring water to the surface, creating a vital refuge in an otherwise dry and harsh environment. Oases are essential for desert ecosystems and have historically served as crucial stopover points for travelers and trade routes, providing shelter, water, and resources in an often inhospitable landscape.
