How does water kept in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summers?

Answer

When a liquid evaporates, the particles of the liquid absorb energy from the  container to compensate the loss of energy during evaporation. This makes the  remaining water cool.

There are some pores in an earthen pot through which the liquid inside the pot evaporates. This evaporation makes the water inside the pot cool. In this way, water kept in an earthen pot becomes cool during summers.
