Description:
Abstract:
Springs are naturally occurring features that convey excess ground water to the land surface; they represent a transition from ground water to surface water. Water issues through one opening, multiple openings, or numerous seeps in the rock or soil.

This dataset provides alternate identification codes for springs in Texas. Many springs in the site information table have identification codes in addition to the site number and the Texas state well number.

Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to aggregate information about springs in Texas and associated spring flow into a digital database.
Supplemental_Information:
Collection of data was limited to digital data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), and Capitol Environmental Services (CES), and to hard-copy data of the USGS.

Data_Set_Credit:
This dataset was specifically developed to aggregate information about springs and spring flow into a singular digital database, as part of a cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB). Capitol Environmental Services also contributed information about springs and spring flow. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) provided additional support for the release of Version 1.2.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attribute accuracy is dependent on source information. Values were inspected and found to be consistently coded as described in the Entity and Attribute Information.

This electronic report was subjected to the same review standard that applies to all U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reports. Reviewers were asked to check the attributes and metadata files for completeness and accuracy.

The dataset was also reviewed by a hydrologist on staff at the USGS. The reviewer examined the data for attribute errors.

Logical_Consistency_Report: All records are attributed.

Process_Description:
Alternate identification codes are labels for spring locations that are not common names or Texas state well numbers.

Alternate spring identification codes were placed in separate fields within the master site information table. Upon completion of the site information table, these fields were exported to a separate table.
