Spring stream flowing through a canyon landscape
A global network for springs

Connecting a world of springs.

To mobilize people, knowledge, and resources to advance stewardship of springs for global biodiversity and human well-being.

178,970 known spring records — and a world still to discover.

Every point represents knowledge. Every gap represents an opportunity.

This map shows the spring data currently available to us—not the true global distribution of springs. We expect many of today’s gaps to contain far more springs. Our goal is to bring existing data together and build a more complete global picture of springs.

Known spring locations are generalized for data protection. Sparse areas can reflect data gaps rather than an absence of springs.
