- Abstract:
-
This dataset contains the best available locations of springs that have had some data collection activities by various government entities in the State of Florida. Currently, 756 unique spring vents recognized in Florida are represented in this dataset.
- Purpose:
-
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) SPRING
MAGNITUDE CATEGORIES for this report (see Entity Attributes) was
developed to differentiate between those springs that may flow once
again in the future, depending on aquifer levels and recharge (Magnitude = 0),
and those springs that have ceased flowing entirely and are not expected
to recover regardless of changes in hydrogeologic and climatic conditions
(Magnitude = None). This layer is intended to be used for mapping
purposes, and as a reference to the locations of sites where data collection
has taken place in spring vents. Users of this information are encouraged
to provide comments and recommendations for updates.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
The primary sources for this dataset were Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Springs database,
online springs station inventories maintained by the State of Florida's Water Management Districts, data
downloads from GWIS, STORET, USGS, and the Florida Geological Survey's Bulletin 31 and 66 Springs of Florida
Encyclopedia. The FDEP has revised the classification system for magnitude to add clarity for those springs
that may stop flowing on an intermittent or permanent basis.

- Data_Set_Credit:
-
Appreciation goes to Debra Harrington, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)
for compiling this dataset in 2009, and also to the Florida Water Management Districts.
There were occasions where the Water Management District locations were chosen as the best
available location, especially for the Silver Springs Group.

- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
The integrity of the data is as supplied by multiple data providers. An official FDEP
spring name was assigned to assist in providing a generic naming convention to all
Florida springs. Where there was more than one spring in the state with a similar name
the county was also included in the spring name. There may be times where the station
name is inaccurate or does not adhere to the official FDEP naming convention.
- Completeness_Report:
-
This dataset contains the best available location for springs that have had some data
collection activities in the State of Florida. Currently, 756 unique spring vents are
represented in this dataset.

-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
The best available location for each spring was selected based on the following general
hierarchy - FGS Bulletin 66, WMDs, USGS and then STORET. All of the springs were
projected to the Florida Albers coordinate system from the "native" latitude/longitude.

GeoPlan Downloaded the dataset from the FDEP's GeoData Directory
Website at <http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.htm>. When received
the data was in shapefile format and was in the following projection:
North American Datum of 1983 HARN. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC
Process included the following aspects:
- Renamed the dataset from SPRING_FLORIDA to springs_fdep_2009
- Upcased all fields
- Added a DESCRIPT field based on SPRING_NAME
- Added a FGDLAQDATE based on the date FGDL acquired the data

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. 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:
