Springs can form in various geological contexts, including where streams cut valleys below the regional water table, where an impermeable layer intersects the surface, where a perched water table intersects the surface, and where there is seepage at the surface. Each of these conditions allows groundwater to emerge naturally, leading to the formation of a spring.
