“…In general, the presence of flysch rocks does not favor springs (Corsini et al, 2009). On the other hand, distance from thrusts and faults exhibits a strong positive correlation with spring density (Corsini et al, 2009;Buczynski and Rzonca, 2011;Ozdemir, 2011;Bense et al, 2013). Many springs are found at the point of contact between permeable and non-permeable rock layers (Corsini et al, 2009;Ozdemir, 2011).…”

Research has shown that the distribution of springs in flysch areas is affected by complex determinants consisting of interdependent geological and morphological factors. The most important factor appears to be the layering of rocks relative to the slope of the given mountain, which affects both the number and discharge of springs. Some springs arise due to tectonic faults and fractures. In addition, the very presence of any slope positively affects the probability of the occurrence of a spring in a given area.

Discharge is one of the most important quantitative characteristics of springs. It not only specifies the yield of groundwater but also reflects the water retention conditions of the aquifer. An analysis of a long-term spring discharges enables linking them to hydrogeological and meteorological conditions of their catchment area as well as calculation of seasonal and multiannual variability parameters. The paper includes data on 84 springs in southern Poland collected in PIG-PIB databases. The time series are of different duration and were carried out in the period 1973-2016. The spring discharge variability index varied widely: from two to over two thousand, wherein the percentage of slightly variable, variable, and highly variable springs ranged around 33%. The discharge of individual springs showed significant seasonal variations. The volume of outflowing water depended on current atmospheric conditions but it was primarily controlled by the hydrogeological type of springs and their location. Discharge of fissures springs as well as of low-flow outflows was generally more variable than that of porous or larger springs. Seasonality of discharge depended rather on the elevation of the spring than on its discharge-springs at higher altitudes had higher seasonality indices of discharge and a later date of its annual maximum discharge.

“…Higher permeability fault zones and karstic limestone are regarded as zones of greater permeability and can result in concentration of high yield springs (Alfaro and Wallace 1994;Buczynski and Rzonca 2011;Sanders et al 2010). Both hydraulically active faults (Baechler 2015) and karst in limestone, evaporites and marbles (Baechler and Boehner 2014) occur on the Island.…”

Cape Breton Island springs have historically played a role in developing potable water supplies, enhancing salmonid streams, creating thin-skinned debris flows, as well as mineral and hydrocarbon exploration. Cape Breton Island provides a hydrogeological view into the roots of an ancient mountain range, now exhumed, deglaciated and tectonically inactive. Exhumation and glaciation over approximately 140 Ma since the Cretaceous are of particular relevance to spring formation. A total of 510 springs have been identified and discussed in terms of hydrological regions, flow, temperature, sphere of influence, total dissolved solids, pH and water typing. Examples are provided detailing characteristics of springs associated with faults, karst, salt diapirs, rockfall/alluvial systems and debris avalanche sites. Preliminary findings from a monitoring program of 27 springs are discussed. Future research should focus on identifying additional springs and characterizing associated groundwater dependent ecosystems. Incorporating springs into the provincial groundwater observation well monitoring program could facilitate early warning of drought conditions and other impacts associated with changing climate.
