Springs of Florida

bulletinwhich documented the major and important springs in the state (Ferguson et al., 1947).This publication was revised in 1977, with many previously undocumented springs andmany new water-quality analyses being added (Rosenau et al., 1977). The FloridaGeological Survey's report on first magnitude springs (Scott et al., 2002) was the initial stepin once again updating and revising the Springs of Florida bulletin. The new bulletinincludes the spring descriptions and water-quality analyses from Scott et al. (2002). Nearly300 springs were described in 1977. As of 2004, more than 700 springs have been recognizedin the state and more are reported each year. To date, 33 first magnitude springs (with aflow greater than 100 cubic feet per second or approximately 64.6 million gallons of waterper day) have been recognized in Florida, more than any other state or country (Rosenau etal., 1977). Our springs are a unique and invaluable natural resource. A comprehensiveunderstanding of the spring systems will provide the basis for their protection and wise use.(Document pdf contains 677 pages)
