Info. on Magnitude

[metaldector]

I'm doing some research on the Magnitude of Springs in Florida (amount of gallons of water per given time). There are a lot of web sites showing 1st Magnitude Springs but the data for 2nd, 3rd, or lower eludes me.

The only info I found on Little River for example is a discharge rate of 84.89³ ³/s ft.
Not being a familiar with that rating I need your help.

Does anyone know of a website that shows Magnitude for all known popular springs? I've spent hours on the web never finding anything but 1st Mag data! Thanks.

FGS Bulletin 31 (hard to find) and 66 (easy) will help you. There are additional bulletins and reports that are readily available from the WMD sites specifically.

Your link shows Little River as a Mag 2 but no flow data. Thanks.

[metaldector]

Thanks. I've visited both those sites. Best info there is a 2nd. Mag Spring issues 10 to 100 cfs per second or 64.6 mgd to 6.4 mgd. I'd love to get a little more specific to each Spring. The range is very broad. Thanks for the links anyway.

I've visited both sites previously. However, they do not state the discharge rate. I'm still searching. Thanks for your interest.

they do not state the discharge rate

If you click on the individual springs on the Bulletin 66 site they give the flow rates of the larger springs.

Unless I'm missing something the info on the discharge rate is exactly what I posted in my first post

"The only info I found on Little River for example is a discharge rate of 84.89³ ³/s ft. Not being a familiar with that rating I need your help."

I was hoping for mgd or cfs. Thanks anyway.

That is cubic feet per second (cfs, ft³/s, ³/s, etc)
