USER NOTES:
This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity
of the original data layer's topology
This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our
knowledge.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

Purpose of the data is to manage information about ground and surface
water under the District's jurisdiction.

Accuracy is not always verified.  Precision and accuracy are variable, 
depending on the method used to develop the data, geographic 
information system, global positioning satellite, survey, topographic map.

Accuracy is not verified. Precision and accuracy are variable, 
depending on the data source.

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED
AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING,
MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Tabular data is recorded everyday into Oracle database.  GIS layer is 
updated overnight to reflect the data entered the day before.  Then 
the layer is inserted into SDE.
Process Date: Updated every night

Geoplan reprojected the data from NAD 1983 into Albers Conical Equal Area Process Date: 20070208
GeoPlan obtained this dataset from Karen Kebart of NWFWMD by email in January 2007. The data downloaded was in shapefile format and was in the following projection: UTM zone 16, NAD83. The data was projected to FGDL Albers HARN. - All records were upcased. - Changed original layer name from nwfwmd_springs_2006 to NWFWMD_SPRNGS_2006. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on WELLNAME - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date of download Process Date: 20070123
