Nice walk,On a trail in a Forest.
A spring is a point where groundwater flows out of the ground, and
is where the aquifer surface meets the ground surface.
Minerals become dissolved in the water as it moves through the
underground rocks. This may give the water flavor and even carbon
dioxide bubbles, depending upon the nature of the geology through
which it passes. Springs that contain significant amounts of
minerals are sometimes called 'mineral springs'. Springs that
contain large amounts of dissolved sodium salts, mostly sodium
carbonate, are called 'soda springs'.
Water emanating from karst topography is another type of spring,
often called a resurgence as much of the water may come from one or
more sinkholes at a higher altitude.
#1,To log this cache, you MUST submit a picture showing the spring
and yourself with your GPSr at the time you submit the log.
#2.In addition, to meet new logging requirements, you must
determine an approximate flow rate for the water. This can be done
by timing the movement of an object floating on the water (twig or
leaf) over a predetermined distance and calculating the flow rate
in feet per minute.
Email your answer to me at time of logging. Logs submitted without
a picture and flow rate WILL BE DELETED by owner!
