Meromixis (partial circulation, the lower denser layers never mixing with the upper) in which the density contrast between the waters of the monimolimnion (permanently stagnant layer in meromictic lakes, below the chemocline) and the mixolimnion (the upper layer that occasionally mixes in a meromictic lake) is caused by subsurface flows of saline water from springs or seeps.
