the only "dry" section from springer to neels is the 6 mile section from hawk mountain shelter to justus creek. fill up at the creek behind the shelter and you'll be fine.
if you are hiking now or in the near future all water sources will be flowing.
water doesn't "run out" during the day. it's either running or it isn't.
while some sources will dry up during the summer (depending upon rainfall) georgia is a state that you generally don't have to worry about the availability of water.2,000 miler -

one more thing...from 3/1 to 6/1 you can not camp overnight in the 5 mile section from jarrard gap to neels gap unless you carry a hard sided bear canister for your food.
many hikers will camp at lance creek which is a couple miles south of jarrard gap and then just hike through the 5 mile section the next day.2,000 miler -
