Here is a completely different spring that emerges from hundreds of feet of solid rock. The natural pumping action (pressure and osmotic processes) is actually poorly understood in modern science. Some of these springs are not merely underground rivers, they are actual uphill flows that emerges at higher elevations and cannot be completely attributed to runoff or higher elevation seepage.

In medieval and ancient Europe and around most temperate regions of the world, ancient peoples venerated natural springs and attributed healing or religious properties to them. The only scientific evidence possible for the healing attributes is due to negative ion generation and mineral compounds and sometimes alkaline waters coming from natural springs. But this too is actually poorly studied. In Europe many cathedrals were built on top of natural springs that have flowed for thousands of years continuously, and the same sites previously housed pagan sites before christianity on them for the same purposes.
