Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains the best available locations of springs that have had some data collection activities or were included in publications by various government entities in the State of Florida. Currently, 1014 unique spring vents recognized in Florida are represented in this dataset. This is an update to the springs_fdep_2009 layer.
Purpose:
The purpose of this layer is to combine available spring stations and information from many agencies so that it serves to provide the best available spring vent location for each spring. 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 combined 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 publications. FDEP has revised the classification system for magnitude to report the recent magnitude for individual vents rather than combined groups. MAGNITUDE is based on the recent years discharge at an individual vent, HIST_MAG is based on discharge from historic years, GROUP_MAG is based on the early years of the Springs Initiative where springs were grouped together to form 1st magnitude groups for funding purposes. This classification system makes it possible to identify those springs that may stop flowing on an intermittent or permanent basis. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) SPRING MAGNITUDE DEFINITIONS shown below 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).

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, 1014 unique spring vents are represented in this dataset.
Positional_Accuracy:
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.

Process_Description:
GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's GeoData Directory website (<http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.htm>) in June 2011. The data was downloaded in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers NAD 83 HARN. During the AQ/QC process the following tasks were undertaken:
- Uppercased all records in the table. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on SPRING_NAM - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source. - Renamed file from springs_2011 to springs_fdep_2011

Distribution_Liability:
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.

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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
