TITLE: ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT SPRINGSHEDS - 2013

Geodataset Name:       SJRWMD_SPRINGSHEDS_2013
Geodataset Type:       SDE Feature Class
Geodataset Feature:    Polygon
Feature Count:         10
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This data set represents springsheds for St Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). A variety of different modeling techniques were used to derive these polygons. This data was originally downloaded in 10 different shapefiles from SJRWMD and merged into one layer. A unique metadata existed for each shapefile. This metadata is a combination of all metadatas. For more detailed information on each springshed it is recommended that you reference the original layers metadata from SJRWMD.

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

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:
Data downloaded in shapefile format from SJRWMD ftp site on 9/25/14:
ftp://secure.sjrwmd.com/disk2/geology/Springsheds.zip

Data was originally in 10 different layers. GWPLIB.WEKIVA95_RECHAREA
shapefile had multiple parts, the parts were dissolved into 1 polygon. All 10 layers
were merged into 1 layer. The coordinate system was
NAD_1983_HARN_UTM_Zone_17N. The merged layer was projected to Albers
HARN and renamed to SJRWMD_SPRINGSHEDS_2013.

-Added DESCRIPT field based on descriptions taken from SJRWMD Springshed  Delineations.lyr
-Added FGDLAQDATE based on date data downloaded from source.
-Upcased all fields
-Added SOURCESHP field that contains the original source name of shapefile
Process Date: 20140926
