Spring Locations in Florida - 2016 (VW) - May 2021
vector digital data
Harrington, D. Springs of Florida 2016 Master List. 2016. Tallahassee, Florida. Florida Department of Environmental Protection: https://floridadep.gov/springs/springs/content/springs-reports-and-publications Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Springs Information: https://floridadep.gov/springs
www.fgdl.org
This dataset contains the best available locations of springs that have had some data collection or field activities or were included in publications by various agencies in the State of Florida. Currently this collection has 1093 unique spring vents, karst windows and associated sinkholes that are recognized in Florida and are represented in this dataset. This layer FLORIDA SPRINGS (2016) is intended to supersede the SPRINGS (2015) layer. This dataset is an update to the FGDL layer SPRINGS_FDEP_VW_2016. This layer is the parent for 1st Magnitude Spring, which uses the following selection: SPRINGS_FDEP_VW.FGS_MAGNITUDE = '1'.
This layer is intended to be used for statewide mapping purposes and as a reference to the names and locations of spring-related sites where data collection or field visits have taken place. This dataset also updates and revises some information that was in previous springs layers. The purpose of this layer is to combine available information on springs and spring-related waters (vents, karst windows and sinkholes) from many agencies so that it provides the best available location for each spring-related water feature. Users can review the RESOURCE field to get additional information about the station type (e.g. spring vent, spring boil, spring run).
The primary sources for this dataset are Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Springs Combined Database (GGWIS), springs station inventories maintained by 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.

Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.8.1.14362
The integrity of the data is as supplied by multiple data providers. An official DEP Spring Name (SPRING_NAME) and numeric identification number (SPRING_KEY) was permanently 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 (STATION_NA) is a local name that can be confusing or does not adhere to the official DEP naming convention.
This dataset contains the best available location for each spring (vents, karst windows and sinkholes) that has had some data collection or field activities in the State of Florida. Currently 1,093 unique spring-related waters are represented in this dataset.
The best available location for each spring was selected based on the following general hierarchy - FGS Bulletin 66, DEP GWIS Ambient Database, WMDs, USGS and then STORET and or WIN. In some cases the names and/or locations published in FGS Bulletin 66 are revised. All of the springs were projected to the Florida Albers coordinate system used by DEP from the "native" latitude/longitude. The values were also converted to decimal degrees and degrees-minute-seconds if not provided with the original data.
Spreadsheet named SPRINGS_2016 was submitted from DEAR Ground Water Management Section to DEAR GIS subsection. Data was processed, converted to a shapefile and submitted to OTIS to be published in DataMiner and MapDirect. This layer will replace the Florida Springs 2015 SDE layer in the DataMiner GIS Library and MapDirect.

Data for a new 2016 version of the Springs layer obtained from DEAR and added the same in the GIS library. This 2016 version replaces the 2015 version in the library, MapDirect Lite and the Open Data site.

DOWNLOADABLE 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.
