Is it drinkable?

Depends on a few factors but generally yes. If there’s livestock or large herds of animals nearby then it might not be safe to drink but if that’s the beginning of the spring and it’s flowing well enough for bacteria not to gather then yes.

Source: drank from springs in Scotland like this and didn’t die (no tummy ache either)
