I've had experience with a few springs here in NYS. All of the springs I've messed with come out of the ground horizintally. I have had the best results by digging back toward the source until I get a clear flow. Then I dig DOWN to build a reservoir. The water now flows INTO the resevoir and there is no back pressure exerted on the spring's vein of water. A 4' piece of 3' or 4' culvert makes a good reservoir. If I ever do another one, I will try the black plastic type instead of concrete. A farm nearby has a resevoir made of glazed brown tile about 3' in diameter which seems to be practically indestructible. I have always covered the "vein" back aways with flat rocks and tapered the soil away from the whole area to ward off surface water. I build a tin-roofed "house" over the reservoir with screen covered vents to keep all the "critters' out. Many of our springs here are quite far up on the side of the hill which negates the need for a water pump in most cases.
