    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: Inlets are common coastal features around the world. Essentially aninlet connects a lagoon, a bay or an estuary to the ocean (or sea), and theflow through the inlet channel is primarily induced by the tidal rise andfall of water level in the ocean. When speaking of the hydraulics of an inlet,one is interested mainly in determining the flow through the inlet andthe tidal variation in the bay, given the following:(1) Inlet geometry(2) Bay geometry(3) Bottom sediment characteristics in the inlet(4) Fresh water inflow into the bay (and out throughthe inlet)(5) Ocean tide characteristicsA combination of all these factors can produce a rather complex situation.

    Description: The framework of sediment budget concepts provides a formalized procedureto account for the various components of sediment flux and the changes ofvolume that occur within a given region. Sediment budget methodology can beuseful in a number of coastal engineering and research applications,including: inferring the amount of onshore sediment transport for a nearshoresystem that contains an "excess of sediment", determining sediment deficits todowndrift beaches as a result of engineering works at navigational entrances,evaluating the performance of a beach nourishment project, inferring thedistribution of longshore sediment transport across the surf zone, etc.This chapter reviews briefly the governing equations for sediment budgetcalculations, considers various measurement and other bases for determiningthe sediment flux components necessary to apply the sediment budget conceptand finally for illustration purposes, applies the sediment budget concept toseveral examples.

    Description: A fixed-bed hydraulic model of Jupiter Inlet, Florida, wasconstructed for the purpose of testing measures designed to remedyproblems of sediment erosion and deposition in the inlet area. Bothtide-induced flows as well as waves were simulated in the model whichwas built on an undistorted scale of 1:49. Model verification was basedon prototype measurements of waves, tides and currents. Results havebeen interpreted in terms of the influence of various proposed remedialschemes on flow velocity magnitude, distribution and wave height atvarious locations within the study area. A stability parameter has beenutilized for evaluating the degree of sediment erosion or deposition ata given location.Various structural solutions were examined in the model. It isproposed that, in the initial phase of solution implementation, sedimentremoval/nourishment methods be used primarily to mitigate the existingproblems. New structures, as per model test results, should beinstalled under subsequent phases, only if sediment managementprocedures do not prove to be adequate. The currently followedprocedure of periodic sand trap dredging may be extended to include thenew dredging/nourishment requirements. (PDF contains 245 pages.)

    Description: A summary is presented of research conducted on beach erosion associated withextreme storms and sea level rise. These results were developed by the author andgraduate students under sponsorship of the University of Delaware Sea Grant Program.Various shoreline response problems of engineering interest are examined. Thebasis for the approach is a monotonic equilibrium profile of the form h = Ax2 /3 inwhich h is water depth at a distance x from the shoreline and A is a scale parameterdepending primarily on sediment characteristics and secondarily on wavecharacteristics. This form is shown to be consistent with uniform wave energydissipation per unit volume. The dependency of A on sediment size is quantifiedthrough laboratory and field data. Quasi-static beach response is examined torepresent the effect of sea level rise. Cases considered include natural and seawalledprofiles.To represent response to storms of realistic durations, a model is proposed inwhich the offshore transport is proportional to the "excess" energy dissipation perunit volume. The single rate constant in this model was evaluated based on largescale wave tank tests and confirmed with Hurricane Eloise pre- and post-stormsurveys. It is shown that most hurricanes only cause 10% to 25% of the erosionpotential associated with the peak storm tide and wave conditions. Additionalapplications include profile response employing a fairly realistic breaking model inwhich longshore bars are formed and long-term (500 years) Monte Carlo simulationincluding the contributions due to sea level rise and random storm occurrences.

    Description: Inlets which require frequent channel dredging due to gradual shoaling,exhibit migration, or shoal up during storms, are in general unstable andpose a problem to the engineer. This problem of inlet stability is a complexone, because of the rather large number of variables that go into definingstability. The reference here is to inlets on sandy coasts only, becausethe absence of sand or similar sedimentary material the problem does notarise. Shell is also found in varying proportions with sand. Some of thisis. new, whereas in some areas it is ancient reworked material whose sizedistribution is close to that of the sand with which it is associated. (PDF has 24 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.)
