The first comprehensive study of Florida's springs was published in 1947. The next update was released 30 years later in the Florida Geological Survey Bulletin No. 31, Revised, "Springs of Florida". [6] In the 1977 Rosenau survey, there were sixteen offshore (under water) springs identified. All but two were situated on the Gulf coast.
The Alapaha Rise is located in Hamilton County, Florida. It flows at an average rate of 802 cubic feet (22.7 m 3) per second. It drains into the Suwannee River about 1/3 mile upstream from where the Alapaha River meets the river. It is a First Magnitude spring, with high tannin levels. [1] [2]
Wakulla Springs is a first magnitude spring and major exposure point for the Floridan Aquifer that forms the Wakulla River.Located 14 miles (23 km) south of Tallahassee, Florida and 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Crawfordville in Wakulla County, Florida at the crossroads of State Road 61 and State Road 267, it is protected in the Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park.
Fanning Springs State Park is a Florida State Park, located on US 19/98 in the town of Fanning Springs.It contains one of the state's 33 first magnitude springs. [1] As of 2008, decreased water emission levels at the springs technically requalify the first magnitude status as "historical first magnitude."
There are four first magnitude springs that feed the St. Johns River: Silver Springs in Marion County, emitting between 250 and 1,290 cubic feet (7.1 and 36.5 m 3)/second; [63] Silver Glen Spring straddling Marion and Lake Counties, emitting between 38 and 245 cubic feet (1.1 and 6.9 m 3)/second; [64] Alexander Springs in Lake County, emitting ...
