* Depression springs occur along a depression, such as the bottom of [[Alluvium|alluvial valleys]], basins, or [[valley]]s made of highly permeable materials.<ref name=":0">{{cite book |chapter=Well Design and Spring Development|title=National Engineering Handbook|date=January 2010|chapter-url=https://directives.sc.egov.usda.gov/OpenNonWebContent.aspx?content=26985.wba |archive-date=21 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201021075954/https://directives.sc.egov.usda.gov/OpenNonWebContent.aspx?content=26985.wba|url-status=live}}</ref>
* Contact springs, which occur along the side of a hill or mountain, are created when the [[groundwater]] is underlaid by an impermeable layer of rock or soil known as an aquiclude or aquifuge<ref name=":0" />
* Fracture, or joint occur when groundwater running along an impermeable layer of rock meets a crack (fracture) or joint in the rock.<ref name=":0" />
* Tubular springs occur when groundwater flows from circular fissures such as those found in caverns (solution tubular springs) or lava tubular springs found in [[lava tube]] caves.<ref name="Classification" /><ref name="Dictionary of Hydrogeology" />
* [[Artesian spring]]s typically occur at the lowest point in a given area. An artesian spring is created when the pressure for the groundwater becomes greater than the pressure from the atmosphere. In this case the water is pushed straight up out of the ground.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Westbrook |first=Cherie J.|date=2017 |title=Heads Above Water: The Inside Story of the Edwards Aquifer Recovery Implementation Program by Robert L.

* Carbonated springs, such as [[Soda Springs Geyser]], are springs that emit naturally occurring carbonated water, due to dissolved carbon dioxide in the water content. They are sometimes called boiling springs or bubbling springs.<ref name="Carbonated">{{cite journal |last1=Cinta Pinzaru |first1=Simona |last2=Ardeleanu |first2=Mircea |last3=Brezestean |first3=Ioana |last4=Nekvapil |first4=Fran |last5=Venter |first5=Monica M. |title=Biogeochemical specificity of adjacent natural carbonated spring waters from Swiss Alps promptly revealed by SERS and Raman technology |journal=Analytical Methods; Royal Society of Chemistry |date=2019 |volume=11 |issue=6 |url=http://explore.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?tabs=detailsTab&gathStatTab=true&ct=display&fn=search&doc=ETOCvdc_100076586933.0x000001&indx=1&recIds=ETOCvdc_100076586933.0x000001 |access-date=15 November 2021}}</ref>
