USGS Water-Year Summary 2024

02322400 GINNIE SPRING NR HIGH SPRINGS FLA

Floridan aquifer system

LOCATION - Lat 29°50'09", long 82°42'01" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in sec.34, T.7 S., R.16 E., Gilchrist County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03110206, at northwest corner of spring pool, 150 ft northwest of spring vent, and 300 ft from the spring run entrance into the Santa Fe river.

DRAINAGE AREA - Indeterminate

REVISIONS HISTORY - A mean daily pH was reported from July 9, 2021 to Oct. 31, 2023. This issue was discovered on July 17, 2024 and mean pH data were removed from publication and a median daily value was reported in its place.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - November 2018 to current year.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder, and data-collection platform.

COOPERATION - This gage is monitored in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

REMARKS -

WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD -

WATER TEMPERATURE: November 2018 to current year.

SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: November 2018 to current year.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN: November 2018 to current year.

pH: November 2018 to current year.

NITRATE: November 2018 to current year.

INSTRUMENTATION -

Water-quality monitor consisting of temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and pH.

Water-quality monitor measuring nitrate.

REMARKS -

During periods of higher water levels the Santa Fe River backs up into the spring run. The water quality data collected during these periods is not representative of water coming from the spring, but the Santa Fe River.

The water quality monitor was installed in a pump system from December 13, 2018 to March 1, 2022. On March 1, 2022 the water quality monitor was deployed in the stream and the pump system was removed.

Extremes for current year and extremes for period of daily record are based on recorded values and may have been exceeded during periods of no record. November 2018 to current year, water temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and nitrate, published as instantaneous maximum and minimum and daily mean; pH published as instantaneous maximum and minimum and daily median.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD -

WATER TEMPERATURE: Maximum recorded, 24.2 degrees Celsius July 10, 2021; minimum recorded, 21.4 degrees Celsius Dec. 4-5, 2019.

SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: Maximum recorded, 380 us/cm Dec. 24, 2023; minimum recorded 198 us/cm July 10, 2021.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN: Maximum recorded, 7.8 mg/L January 24, 2023; minimum recorded 3.4 mg/L many days.

pH: Maximum recorded, 7.7 pH units many days; minimum recorded 7.2 pH units Dec. 9 and 10, 2019 and July 10, 2021.

NITRATE: Maximum recorded, 2.33 mg/L on Mar. 17 and 18, 2022; minimum recorded 1.54 Mar. 2, 2019.
