The problem of a source or sink submerged beneath a free surface is investigated in the infinite Froude number limit. Solutions are found for all cases in which the source is situated away from the bottom of the channel. Solutions are also found for the case where the source is situated above the asymptotic level of the free surface, giving fountain type free surface shapes.
