Natural Springs

We have two natural springs at the top of our yard. One is above the house (we live on a hill) and the other is on the corner of the garage that seeps water constantly in the spring and summer months. The one above the house just makes the area very wet and doesn't really trickle through the yard like the one beside the garage.

How can I deal with these springs? I'm kinda stuck with them and don't know what or how I can make them useful if that makes sense. Last year, I took a pitcher out and fed my veggies using the water.

You could always dig a French drain to keep the water away from the house and divert the other one towards your vegey garden. That would be the better solution. It involves labor.
