why is water stored in earthen pot during summer?

Question

no jokes pls.

Answer 1

so the water won't evaporate.

Answer 2

Earhenware pots are a little bit pourous so a tiny amount of water seeps to the surface. It evaporates there, which consumes energy, leaving the surface of the pot cooler. The end result: the water in the pot stays cool. The same principle of heat exchange explains why many canteens are carried in thick canvas sheaths; when you wet the fabric, evaporation helps keep the water inside the canteen cool.

Answer 3

earthen pots keep the water cooler as they absorb some of the water, when the water evaporates it cools--same as rubbing alcohol cools as it evaporates--swamp coolers for houses work on the same principle.
