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.)
