Overview
 

In the Cumberland River bottom, many drilled wells produce enough water for a domestic supply. In most of Cumberland County, wells will not produce enough water for a domestic supply, except for a few in lowland areas bordering streams. Small springs and wet-weather seeps occur in many areas throughout the county. Spring flows generally do not exceed several gallons a minute, and most springs stop flowing during extended dry periods in late summer and fall.
