Springs will be derived from lat/longs stored in the Station Header table within the Oracle database; they are the subset of stations that represent springs. Individual representatives of a spring's group (for example, the many springs that make up the Silver Springs group) are each represented by a point, rather than a single point per group.
The District uses this information for general mapping and cartographic purposes, and for small and medium scale hydrologic and assessment applications.

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>

- GeoPlan extracted this data from the ZIP file. - The shapefile was reprojected from NAD_1983_HARN_UTM_Zone_17N to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. (See "Map Projection Parameters" below). - Changed original layer name from SPRINGSEEP to SPRINGS_SJRWMD_2007. - Added county data and field via spatial join. - Added USNG_FL_1K data and field via spatial join. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on NAME. - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date GeoPlan obtained the data. - Added AUTOID field. - Deleted FCTYPE, Participat, and Comments fields, which contained no data. - All records were upcased.
