Fine Edge is an unknown quantity at this point
We had a similiar problem with springs a few years back. Augered about 25 12" holes in this guys yard thinking we could find the source. Turns out that the spring was just travelling through all different layers as Paul said and was also finding it's way through every decaying tree root ( many were cut down previously).
We tried a few deep trenches filled with pipe, gravel, etc. that lead to a creek and tried to catch what we could.
I could see it getting expensive to try and catch all water in certain difficult situations.
