Introduction
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.
The database of this report provides information about springs and spring flow
in Texas including spring names, identification numbers, location, and, if available,
water source and use. This database does not include every spring in Texas,
but is limited to an aggregation of selected digital and hard-copy data of the
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), and
Capitol Environmental Services.
