In hydrology, a rodnik is a natural spring of water. Springs are formed when the water table, the upper level of saturated soil or rock, reaches the earth's surface. This can occur in a variety of geological contexts, such as on hillsides, in valleys, or at the base of cliffs. Springs are an important source of fresh water in many parts of the world.

Rodnik bottled water is available in still and sparkling varieties, and it is sold in a range of sizes, from small individual bottles to large multi-gallon containers.
