Why is spring water considered safe to drink?

So, the spring water comes from an underground layer of water, formed from different materials (gravel, sand, silt, rocks)
” Spring water has a natural filtration process through bedrock, which is why springs look clean and pure when it rises to the surface of the Earth” – how? just how? I can understand a modern filter, where the water is getting thought a carbon filter and gets cleaner. But how do the rocks purify the water? How does the water that comes to the surface not contain traces of sand & other stuff?
Thank you,
