USGS 02319302 MADISON BLUE SPRING NR BLUE SPRINGS, FL

PROVISIONAL DATA SUBJECT TO REVISION

Click to hidestation-specific text

This gage is monitored in cooperation with the Suwannee River Water Management District.

REMARKS.--Computed discharge at this station may differ from individual measurements because of changes in tidal influence, wind, or other factors. At stages below 9.00 ft discharge computed from relation between artesian pressure at Blue Springs well near Madison, FL (302847083145401), provided by Suwannee River Water Management District. At stages above 9.00 ft a differential head rating is used, using Blue Springs well near Madison, FL (302847083145401) and the stage at the site. During periods of high water, the spring is affected by variable backwater from the Withlacoochee River, which at times, can result in negative flow back into the spring vent. Prior to Oct. 7, 2011, discharge was computed using different methods.


March 9, 2010
Flooding conditions on April 7, 2009.
During periods of higher water levels the Withlacoochee 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 Withlacoochee River.
