- Abstract:
-
This dataset represents swallets (stream to sink features) discovered, researched and mapped by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Geological Survey, Florida Swallet Survey. The Florida Swallet Survey was a mapping program funded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Florida Springs Initiative. A swallet is a stream to sink feature, meaning there is a contribution area that concentrates runoff into identifiable streams that disappear underground at a specific point through a sinkhole. The streams may be either intermittent or continuously flowing. Data collected includes: GPS points from a Trimble ProXR and TSC-1 Data Logger; length and width of pools and basins using a range finder; pool depths, if possible, using a hand-held sonar depth finder; color, clarity and visibility of the water in the pool using a secchi disk; photos were taken and written assessments were made of the geology, topography, vegetation, and notations of anything within a 150-meter radius. This dataset represents swallet locations that were within the scope of the Florida Springs Initiative / Florida Swallet Survey project. As such, not all Florida swallets are included in this dataset, and it is by no means comprehensive.
- Purpose:
-
The purpose of this data set is to provide locational reference to stream-to-sink
features where surface waters enter karst features and interacts with Florida
aquifers.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
This dataset represents swallet locations that were within the scope of the Florida
Springs Initiative / Florida Swallet Survey project. As such, not all Florida swallets
are included in this dataset, and it is by no means comprehensive.
Many documented swallets are located on non-public lands. These may or may not
be accessible to the public and permission to access them MUST be granted by the
property owner in advance of any attempt to visit these swallets.

FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
- Glossary
Swallet: See swallow hole.
Swallow Hole: A place where water disappears underground in a limestone region.
A swallow hole generally implies water loss in a closed depression or blind valley,
whereas a swallet may refer to water loss into alluvium at a streambed, even though there
is no depression (Field, 1999).

- Process_Description:
-
Two full-time and several part-time researchers comb the first magnitude
springsheds using topographic maps, aerial photos, USDA soil surveys, and local
knowledge in search of potential swallets. With the property owner’s permission,
field teams make on-site investigations to determine if a feature qualifies and, if it
does, it is then cataloged. A true swallet is a stream to sink feature, meaning there
is a contribution area that concentrates runoff into identifiable streams that
disappear underground at a specific point. The streams may be either intermittent or
continuously flowing. Data collected includes: GPS points and areas using a
backpack Trimble; length and width of pools and basins using a range finder; pool
depths, if possible, using a hand-held sonar depth finder; color, clarity and visibility
of the water in the pool using a secchi disk; photos are taken and written
assessments are made of the geology, topography, vegetation, and notations of
anything within a 150-meter radius.

<http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.htm>
FGS_SWALLETS.zip
FGS_SWALLETS.shp
The data was downloaded in shapefile format and was in the following
projection: Albers NAD 83 HARN.
During the AQ/QC process the following tasks were undertaken:
- Redefined the dataset's projection from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers.
- Converted from "Point M" feature type to "Point"
- The dataset was renamed to SWALLETS_JUN07.shp
- The dataset Attribute table was upper cased.
- The field DESCRIPT was added based on "NAME"
- Removed all Double Quotes from the DESCRIPT field for ETDM purposes.
- The field FGDLAQDATE was added and populated.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
