Abstract

Springs project goal is to collect water samples during dry season for bedrock aquifer characterization. The Uplands region of Indiana has the largest concentration of springs, including the largest springs in the state. Springs have been historically significant in this region because of the scarcity of water supplies. The data collected will become the groundwork for an online searchable database, providing chemical and descriptive information for each spring visited. To date over 100 springs have been sampled. The database is being designed to allow new data entries for existing springs plus the addition of new springs.

Description
