    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: In the area of this investigation a partial inventory wasmade of the estimated 2,000 existing wells to obtain informationon location, depth, and yield of representative wells.Also, data were obtained on the quality of water from thevarious aquifers, and on the fluctuation of water levels incertain wells in the Floridan aquifer. The hydraulic characteristicsof the Floridan aquifer at several sites weredetermined by means of pumping tests. (PDF has 80 pages.)

    Interim report on the progress of an inventory of artesian wells in Florida: leading to the enforcement of sections 370.051 - 370.54, Florida statues (2021)

    Description: One of the causes of lower artesian pressure, waterwaste and aquifer contamination is the misuse and insufficientcare of artesian wells. In 1953, Senate Bill No. 57, entitled"An Act to Protect and Control the Artesian Waters of theState" (see Appendix) became a law. This law was passedthrough the efforts exerted by leading members of the Senateand the House of Representatives, who understood the needfor a wise and controlled expenditure of our most valuablenatural resource.The State Geologist and his authorized representativeswere designated by this law to enforce this conservationmeasure; however, no financial provision was included forthe 1953-55 biennium. The proposed program of the FloridaGeological Survey for this biennium did not include the fundsnor provide any full-time personnel for the enforcement ofthis statute. As a result, little actual work was accomplished during these two years, although much time was given toplanning and discussion of the problem.Realizing that this program could provide additional basicdata needed in the analysis of the water-supply problem, theState Geologist sought and was granted by the 1955 Legislatureadequate funds with which to activate the first phase of theenforcement of Florida Statute No. 370.051-054.Enumerated below is a summary of the progress madeon this investigation as outlined previously:1. Data have been collected on 967 wildly flowing wellsin 22 counties.2. Chloride determinations have been run on 850 of the967 wells.3. Of the 967 wells, 554 have chlorides in excess of the250 ppm, the upper limit assigned by the State Boardof Health for public consumption.4. Water escapes at the rate of 37, 762 gallons per minutefrom these 967 wells. This amounts to 54, 377, 280gallons per day.The investigation is incomplete at this time; therefore,no final conclusions can be reached. However, from dataalready collected, the following recommendations are proposed:1. That the present inventory of wildly flowing wells becompleted for the entire State.2. That the current inventory of wildly flowing wells beexpanded at the conclusion of the present inventoryto include all flowing wells.3. That a complete statewide inventory program beestablished and conducted in cooperation with theGround Water Branchof the U.S. Geological Survey.4. That the enforcement functions as set down in Sections370.051/.054, Florida Statutes, be separated fromthe program to collect water-resource data and thatthese functions be given to the Water ResourcesDepartment, if such is created (to be recommendedby the Water Resources Study Commission in a waterpolicy law presented to the 1957 Legislature).5. That the research phase (well inventory) of the programremain under the direction of the Florida GeologicalSurvey. (PDF contains 204 pages.)

    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: 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)
