    Description: Future water needs in southern Florida call for an increase in the storagecapacity of Lake Okeechobee. Seepage from the lake is expected to increase as aresult of raising the lake level. Data concerning the occurrence and amounts ofseepage are needed for the design and operation of flood-control works whichwill remove excess water from the rich agricultural lands along the southernshore. Intensive studies at five sites along the southern shore of LakeOkeechobee between the Caloosahatchee Canal and the St. Lucie Canal indicatethat seepage occurs chiefly through beds of shell and limestone which underliethe Hoover Dike at shallow depth. Seepage rates at the five sites range fromabout 0.1 to 0.9 cfs per mile per foot of head across the dike. Seepage beneaththe 50-mile length of dike should increase from about 22 to 50 cfs if the averagestage of the lake is raised from 14 to 16.5 feet. Seepage is greatest betweenMoore Haven and Clewiston, where deep borrows have been excavated on thelandward and lakeward sides of the dike. Most of the seepage from the lake canbe controlled by properly spaced toe ditches which would intercept the seepageand return it to the lake. (PDF contains 108 pages.)

    Description: Salt-water encroachment is undoubtedly the problem of most concern tousers of ground water in Florida. This is a problem in many coastal areaswhere water levels are lowered excessively by heavy pumping. It is aproblem also in some inland areas where the water-bearing formations containsalty water at relatively shallow depths. Among the coastal areas where wellshave become contaminated with salt water are Pinellas County and the Miamiarea of Dade County. Inland areas where wells are likely to become contaminatedwith salt water include Seminole County and the southwestern partof Volusia County.The purpose of the investigation is to make a detailed study of thegeology and ground-water resources of the county with special emphasis onthe problems associated with declining water levels and salt-watercontamination. This report reviews briefly the progress of the investigationthrough February 1954. (PDF contains 43 pages.)

    Description: Recently there has been much activity in reclaiming thelow-lying coastal areas of Dade County for residential use,by the addition of fill. The fill is obtained by digging canalsboth normal to and parallel to Biscayne Bay. The canalsserve the additional purpose of providing an access to theBay for boats. A problem needing to be considered is theeffect that these canals will have on the ground-water resources.It is expected that the canals will have little effecton ground water in parts of the county distant from the coast,but their effect in coastal areas is a matter of concern. Inorder to predict what, may happen in the vicinity of thesenew canals if they are not equipped with adequate controlstructures, it is instructive to review what has happened inthe vicinity of similar canals in the past.The U. S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with DadeCounty, the cities of Miami and Miami Beach, the Centraland Southern Florida Flood Control District, and the FloridaGeological Survey has collected water-level and salinitydata on wells and canals in Dade County since 1939. Someof the agencies named, and others, collected similar databefore 1939. Analysis of all the data shows that sea waterin the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bayis the sole source ofsalt-water contamination in the Biscayne aquifer of the DadeCounty area. (PDF has 19 pages.)

    Description: A large part of western Manatee County is devoted to the growing ofwinter vegetables and citrus fruits. As in most of peninsular Florida,rainfall in the county during the growing season is not sufficient for cropproduction and large quantites of artesian water are used for irrigation.The large withdrawals of artesian water for irrigation result in a considerabledecline of the artesian head in the western part of the county. This seasonaldecline of the artesian head has become larger as the withdrawal of artesianwater has increased. The lowering of the fresh-water head in some coastal areas in the Statehas resulted in an infiltration of sea water into the water-bearing formations.The presence of salty water in the artesian aquifer in parts of the coastal areaof Manatee County indicates that sea water may also have entered the waterbearingformations in this area as a result of the decline of artesian pressureduring the growing season. The purpose of the investigation is to make a detailed study of the geologyand ground-water resources of the county, primarily to determine whethersalt-water encroachment has occurred or is likely to occur in the coastal area.

    Description: In recent years, difficulties encountered in obtaining ground-water supplieswith acceptable chemical characteristics in the Myakka River basin area led tothe implementation of a test drilling program. Under this program, well drillingand data collection were executed in such a manner that all water-producingzones of the local aquifers, together with the quality and quantity of the wateravailable, were effectively identified.A step-drilling method was utilized which allowed the collection offormation cuttings, water samples, and water-level data, from isolated zones inthe well as drilling proceeded. The step drilling procedure is described. Thedriller's logs, geophysical logs, and chemical quality of water tables arepresented.(Document has 66 pages.)

    Description: Charlotte, De Soto, and Hardee counties are east-southeast ofTampa in west-central peninsular Florida, figure 1. In order toplan the future water-resource development of the area, informationabout the water resources is needed. To meet this need, the WaterResources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperationwith the Peace River Basin Board of the Southwest Florida WaterManagement District as part of the statewide cooperative programwith the Division of Geology, Florida Board of Conservation, begana continuing hydrologic data collection program in July, 1963, asan initial step in the investigation and evaluation of the groundwaterresources of Hardee and De Soto counties. A similar hydrologicdata program commenced in Charlotte County in July, 1964.Previous work in Hardee and De Soto counties included aone year reconnaissance by the Division of Water Resources andConservation, Florida Board of Conservation, which concluded inJune, 1963, and resulted in a hydrologic report (Woodard, 1964).As an outgrowth of the hydrologic data program, a Map Seriesreport portraying the chemical character of water in the Floridanaquifer in the southern Peace River basin was prepared in 1967(Kaufman and Dion).The data contained herein constitute the basis for the MapSeries report. Additional selected data, including records of wellsand chemical analyses,, on the ground-water resources of the threecounty area are also included and are published to make the dataavailable.(Document has 28 pages.)

    Description: The Econfina Creek basin area in northwestern Florida, which includes BayCounty, southeastern Washiigton County, and parts of Calhoun, Gulf, andJackson counties is shown in figure 1. The basin has an abundant supply ofground water and surface water of good quality. This determination is based ona three-year investigation of the water resources of the basin by the U. S.Geological Survey in cooperation with the Division of Geology, Florida Board ofConservation, during the period from October 1961 through June 1964. Thepurpose of this report is to assemble the basic data collected during thisinvestigation for those persons interested in water development or managementin this basin.(Document has 131 pages.)

    Description: Upper Old Tampa Bay, a 17-square mile area of Old Tampa Bay, Florida,has been proposed for conversion to a fresh-water lake. The amount of runoff tothe proposed lake and its chemical quality are both adequate to freshen andsustain a fresh-water lake in this part of the bay. During 1950-66 runoff to theproposed lake, including discharge from Lake Tarpon, would have averaged 134mgd (million gallons per day) and would have displaced the volume of theproposed lake at normal pool stage (2.5 feet above mean sea level) about 1.7times per year. Without discharge from Lake Tarpon, the volume of theproposed lake would have been displaced 1.2 times. If the lake level was initiallyat a normal pool stage during a critically dry year, such as 1956, the proposedlake would have declined 0.25 to 0.5 foot below the minimum design level, (1.5feet above mean sea level).(44 page document)
