Abstract:

A spring is defined as a place where groundwater flows naturally onto the land surface or into a body of surface water. A spring's occurrence depends on the nature and relationships among topography, underlying geologic strata, and aquifer water levels. While some springs are isolated features, many are clustered into spring groups of varying size and areal extent. In addition to providing a unique recreational resource, springs provide important base flow to rivers and streams and critical habitat to plants and animals. Most springs in SJRWMD occur in discharge areas of the Upper Floridan aquifer where limestone is at or near land surface, or where the sediments overlying Floridan limestone have been breached. The majority of the springs in SJRWMD are located along the major river systems of the St. Johns, Ocklawaha, and Wekiva rivers. This data layer also includes surficial aquifer springs, which are now called seeps, under nomenclature recently agreed upon by the Florida Geological Survey. Springs are classified by magnitude based on the volume of flow, or discharge of water. The amount of water that flows from a spring depends on several factors, including rainfall, size of the caverns within the rocks, the water pressure in the aquifer, and the size of spring recharge basin. Human activities can also influence the volume of water that discharges from a spring; for example, increased groundwater withdrawals can reduce the hydraulic pressure in an aquifer, causing water levels to decline and spring flows to decrease. Since springs have dynamic flows dependent on climate, hydrogeology, and others factors, a spring classified as being a certain magnitude at one time may not continue to flow at that rate at other times. Springs are classified by magnitude, which is based on the median value of all discharge measurements for the period of record. First magnitude springs discharge the greatest amount of water. The following is a summary of spring classification magnitude by discharge. This is an update to the springs_sjrwmd_2010 layer.

Purpose:

Created from SDE feature view of Spring & Seep stations from Station Header on PROD. Request from SJRWMD's Groundwater Programs Division (Jill Stokes) to create this GIS view of current spring/seep stations. The District uses this information for general mapping and cartographic purposes, and for small and medium scale hydrologic and assessment applications.

Supplemental_Information:

Florida is divided into five water management districts to preserve and manage Florida's precious water resources. The St. Johns River Water Management Florida is divided into five water management districts to preserve and manage Florida's precious water resources. The St. Johns River Water Management District is responsible for managing groundwater and surface water resources in all or part of 18 counties in northeast and east-central Florida. District staff work from service centers in Palatka, Jacksonville, Altamonte Springs and Palm Bay
Spring Magnitude Discharge 1 100 cfs or more 2 10 to 100 cfs 3 1 to 10 cfs 4 0.223 cfs (100 gpm) to 1 cfs 5 0.0223 cfs (10 gpm) to 0.223 cfs 6 0.0022 cfs (1 gpm) to 0.0223 cfs 7 0.00028 cfs (1 pint/min) to 0.0022 cfs 8 0.00028 cfs or less
Units: cfs = cubic feet per second gpm = gallons per minute pint/min = pints per minute
Conversions: 100 cfs = 64.6 million gallons per day 1 cfs = 646,316.9 gallons per day 1 gallons per minute = 0.0022 cfs 1 pint per minute = 0.00028 cfs
Internal SJRWMD NOTE:
Springs and seeps locations are derived from lat/longs stored in the Station Header table within the Oracle database. 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. Any specific questions about the data in this view should be directed to the person who originally created the station in Station Header, listed with the 'Created By' field when doing a station search in the Station Header web app (<http://dasprod/station/>).

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'.

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.
