For this , we have a fun fact that will blow your mind! Did you know that 90% of Florida’s drinking water comes from groundwater?

That’s right, and Florida springs give us a unique ability to see how our groundwater (the water we drink!) is fairing. Come by Three Sisters Springs and take a look at where your drinking water comes from!

The water is a clear, blue-green and lined with rocky shorelines and thin trees draped in Spanish moss (tree hair). Much of the vegetation are varying shades of green with a cloudy sky overhead.
