	Ground Water Resources of British Columbia - Chapter 11
		Interior Mountains comprising the Columbia Mountains of the southern interior and the Omineca, Cassiar, Skeena and Hazelton Mountains of the northern interior.
		Mountain springs often occur where downward movement of ground water through fractured bedrock is impeded by a reduction in rock permeability, forcing ground water to move in a lateral direction toward a slope or stream.
		In mountainous areas beyond the valleys, where bedrock terrain is predominant, the availability of ground water is somewhat unpredictable and often limited in quantity, reflecting the hydrogeologic nature of fractured rock.

	Spring in the Monashees (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
