Spring Creek is a stream in Victoria County, Texas, in the United States. [1] Spring Creek was named from its source at a clear spring. A 1970 newspaper article reports the stream's waters had been since muddied by industrial pollution. [2]
The entire length of the creek, named Spring Creek, is spring fed at a constant 72 °F (22 °C). The swift water of Spring Creek varies in depth between one and six feet (0.3 meter - 2 meter) and is about 20 feet (6.1 meters) wide. Even in years of extreme drought, it has never run dry [citation needed].
The forcing of the spring to the surface can be the result of a confined aquifer in which the recharge area of the spring water table rests at a higher elevation than that of the outlet. Spring water forced to the surface by elevated sources are artesian wells. This is possible even if the outlet is in the form of a 300-foot-deep (91 m) cave.
