This dataset consists of Wisconsin springs with a discharge rate of at least 0.25 cubic feet per second that were surveyed between July 2014 and August 2017.
This dataset was produced as part of a project to inventory springs in Wisconsin that discharge at rates of approximately 0.25 cubic feet per second or more at the time of the inventory. Understanding spring hydrology is important because springs contribute water to streams, lakes, and wetlands, provide wildlife habitat, and in some cases supply water to fish hatcheries, private residences, and agricultural activities. In addition to the information about the surveyed springs, the project also compiled data for springs that were investigated but not surveyed, and data for a limited number of groundwater-fed ponds. The methodology, results, and full explanation of dataset attributes are documented in the accompanying report: Swanson, S.K., Graham, G.E., and Hart, D.J., 2019, An inventory of springs in Wisconsin: Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey Bulletin 113, 24 p. The project was conducted by the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey and Beloit College, and funded by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
This version of the dataset has been merged with the Macholl survey, topographic data, information from land managers, and toponymy to include springs that are likely to exist, but does not include the full Macholl dataset. Clipped to Driftless Area boundaries

This dataset consists of Wisconsin springs with a discharge rate of at least 0.25 cubic feet per second that were surveyed between July 2014 and August 2017. The attributes for springs were defined in an Esri file geodatabase feature class and configured to be editable on a handheld GPS unit.
Field surveys proceeded on a county-by-county basis in August through November 2014, April through November 2015, March through November 2016, and March through August 2017. Feature attributes were defined in an ArcGIS feature class within a file geodatabase and configured to be editable on a handheld GPS unit. GPS units recorded an average easting and northing within a 60-second logging interval, as well as parameters that quantify the strength and precision of the satellite signal. Elevation values for the spring sites were extracted from the highest-resolution digital elevation model available. The source and resolution of the elevation model is included as feature attribute.

This dataset represents the results of a survey of Wisconsin springs with a discharge rate of at least 0.25 cubic feet per second conducted between July 2014 and August 2017. The methods and results are documented in the accompanying report.
Spring locations were recorded using GPS units collecting an average easting and northing within a 60-second logging interval, including parameters that quantify the strength and precision of the satellite
signal. The GPS units have 2- to 5-meter horizontal accuracy. Signal strength and precision values are include in the feature attributes.
