peer agreement (net): +3| sorgente di contatto contact spring Explanation: Contact Spring: A spring that usually occurs where a mass of permeable rock or unconsolidated materials overlie a mass of impermeable material. Though in your context I'd probably leave out "contact", as no one will know what it means. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2015-02-04 16:08:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorgente di contatto: si ha quando una falda freatica, con sotto rocce impermeabili, sbocca all’esterno del terreno. http://guide.supereva.it/scienze_della_terra/interventi/2001... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2015-02-04 16:09:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Maybe you could say something like "springs bubbling to the surface".
