The location and form of karst springs is determined primarily by the distribution of karst rocks, and the pattern of potential flow paths (fractures) in the rock. Where karst rocks are intermixed with impermeable rocks, the latter act as barriers to groundwater flow, and karst springs tend to develop as “contact springs” where the boundary between the karst and impermeable rock is exposed at the surface. Where the impermeable unit underlies the karst, it enhances the elevation of the karst water, and the spring (and aquifer) is considered “perched”, as it lies above the topographically optimum discharge point. Where the impermeable unit overlies the karst aquifer, it enhances the pressure of karst water, and springs are then described as “confined”
