Recognizes April 2018 as "Springs Protection Awareness Month" in the State of Florida.

Florida has one of the world's most productive aquifers supporting more than 900 natural springs and the world's highest concentration of springs.

Approximately 93 percent of Florida residents rely on groundwater supply for drinking water.

Florida's springs discharge nearly 8 billion gallons of water each day and provide important habitat for wildlife and recreational opportunities.

Healthy springs reflect the state's commitment to sustainable groundwater and surface water resource protection.
