text:
A spring is a natural exit point at which groundwater emerges from the aquifer and flows onto the top of the Earth's crust (pedosphere) to become surface water. It is a component of the hydrosphere, as well as a part of the water cycle.

Springs are driven out onto the surface by various natural forces, such as gravity and hydrostatic pressure. A spring
