Subsurface Storage of Freshwater in South Florida: A Prospectus (open access)

Subsurface Storage of Freshwater in South Florida: A Prospectus

From purpose and scope: This prospectus report presents no original investigative results, but relies upon those of studies documented separately for the preparation of synopses of diverse topics related to cyclic injection and recovery of freshwater in that part of south Florida underlain by saline artesian aquifers. The report is intended to aid the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other water managers by addressing fundamental issues...

Selected Flow Characteristics of Florida Streams and Canals (open access)

Selected Flow Characteristics of Florida Streams and Canals

Abstract: This report contains data and statistics on low-flow frequency for 254 stream-gagins stations on Florida streams and canals. The selected stations have 10 or more years of continuous record. A site description, a 10-year hydrograph, and a table of flow duration are presented for each station. A computed monthly 7-day, 10-year low flow is presented for stations when flow is not significantly altered by dams, increased or decreased significantly by diversion, or influence by tides.

Hydrogeology of the Sarasota-Port Charlotte Area, Florida (open access)

Hydrogeology of the Sarasota-Port Charlotte Area, Florida

From purpose and scope: The objective of this investigation was to define the hydrogeologic framework of the surficial, intermediate (Tamiami-upper Hawthorn aquifer and lower Hawthorn-upper Tampa aquifer), and Floridian aquifers in the Sarasota-Port Charlotte area, including their regional extent, thickness, hydraulic properties, water quality, and their interrelation in the regional ground-water flow system.

Effects of Recharge from Drainage Wells on Quality of Water in the Floridan Aquifer in the Orlando Area, Central Florida (open access)

Effects of Recharge from Drainage Wells on Quality of Water in the Floridan Aquifer in the Orlando Area, Central Florida

From purpose and content: The purpose of this report is to: (1) describe the general quality of ground water found in the injection zones (permeable strata that accept water) of drainage wells; (2) assess the impact of drainage wells on the water quality of supply wells, particularly public-supply; and (3) establish a data base necessary for future studies.
