In order to help gather new information on springs in Latvia, especially in the Gauja and Salaca river basin districts, it is still needed to get involved in researching springs and recording observations in a specially developed place - avoti.info. So far, more than 130 springs have been registered in Latvia, which allows you to choose a spring already known for research or add a new observation.
The aim of spring monitoring is to help scientific and state institutions to collect information on springs and their chemical quality, assess and make conclusions about the main drinking water resource - groundwater and its current state. The site avoti.info provides simple scientific research guidelines for scientists and explain how to find and identify, evaluate a spring, and record data. With its easy-to-use map, you can view information about the observations made by others, register, and add new identified springs and observations.
