TheBigRagu,

You pose a very interesting question....and your desires for a source of water are very understandable. However, I have painfully learned over the years that all springs are not alike and that what a spring giveth, it can also take away.

What I'm offering to you is that I have had experience in which a spring which is flowing water when exposed, actually reverses flow when covered by water in the pond. I learned this from an old time pond builder here in East Texas when I gleefully announced the discovery of a spring to him and was told to cover it up with two feet of clay.

You may want to get someone, such as an engineer or really experienced pond builder, to look at your spring to determine if it is a good thing or not. Not all springs are good...nor I'm sure all bad either.
