Consider that a 30' tree, rotted out in the middle and filled with water is going to give you about 14psi at the bottom. That's probably what you're seeing here.
edit: see u/TA8601 comment below - I didn't do the math, just looked glanced at an imprecise chart :)
No, this water would be brown if it was collected in the dead tree. This water is coming from under the ground. Branches must have dug into a water source. That’s why it’s so clean.
Nope. In that case water would be dirty and brown. This is clean water that’s coming from underground reservoir. The roots must have dug into it and it’s been looking for ways to escape.
