Here's a breakdown:
* Water table: The upper surface of the zone of saturation in the ground. This is where the soil and rock are completely saturated with water.
* Spring: A natural flow of groundwater that emerges from the ground. This happens when the water table intersects the surface, often in areas where the ground is fractured or porous.
* Cracks in rock openings: These provide pathways for the groundwater to reach the surface.
