Water Facts #4: Spring Development and Protection
Springs occur wherever groundwater flows out from the earth’s surface. Springs typically occur along hillsides, low-lying areas, or at the base of slopes. A spring is formed when natural pressure forces groundwater above the land surface. This can occur at a distinct point or over a large seepage area.
Springs are sometimes used as water supplies and can be a reliable and relatively inexpensive source of drinking water if they are developed and maintained properly. This fact sheet explains how to develop and protect springs. Note: This publication is available in PDF only; it is not available in hard copy from the Publications Distribution Center.
