Surface Water Springs of New Jersey

In 2007, the New Jersey Geological and Water Survey began a long term project to map, classify and characterize the state's inventory of springs. The purpose of surveying the states springs was to establish the geological/ hydro geological framework for the diversity of origin and form of springs in addition to providing a historical perspective on springs in New Jersey and to document the findings. The geodatabase also contains eight accessory tables. These tables include discharge rates, chemistry, cultural characteristics, discharge characteristics, discharge rates, ecology, geology, and geomorphology. These accessory tables can be joined together with the springs feature class based on a unique ID number in the geodatabase. This springs feature class contains springs locations. The water from the springs is not considered potable. They might not be microbiologically safe to drink, unless you have recent results. Please avoid drinking from them.
