Karst Working Group: Upper Barton Spring, Austin, Texas

Detailed Description
Located in the creekbed of Barton Creek, this karst spring has been monitored by the USGS periodically. The results of those monitoring efforts have indicated that, despite being less than 1 kilometer from the much larger Main Barton Spring, its water has a substantially different major-ion and contaminant geochemistry.
