Sovereign Water – Spring Development Basics ~Epi-074
on
Today’s show is for those of you lucky enough to have a spring on your property. We will cover the basics of spring morphology and function – including the way I really think they work vs. what the textbooks say – and then we’ll go over basic spring assessment criteria, and the main components of spring water collection and distribution systems.
