    Description: This study was carried out to examine the effects of seawalls on the adjacentbeach by three dimensional model test. The results obtained from model test wereanalyzed in terms of volumetric changes and shoreline and hydrographic change toquantify the effects of seawalls.The experiments were carried out in the wave basin of Coastal and OceanographicEngineering department, University of Florida. A model seawall was installedon the test beach (19mxl4m) which was initially molded into equilibriumshapes. During the test, hydrographic surveys were conducted at regular time intervals.The main variable in the experiment is the wave angle. Cases both withand without seawall were tested. (141pp.)

    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: 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: The critical need to predict the turbidity in water due to fine-grained sediment suspensionunder wave action over mud deposits for sedimentation and erosion studies, as well assorbed contaminant transport, is well known. Since fall velocities of fine sediment particlesare very small, they can be easily transported by hydrodynamic flows such as waves andcurrents. The presence of these particles in the water column affects accoustic transmission,heat absorption and depth of the eutrophic zone (Luettich et al., 1989). Because these sedimentsalso have a strong affinity for sorbing nutrients and toxic chemicals, sediments whichhave been deposited on the bottom may function as a source of contaminants to the watercolumn if they are disturbed by eroding forces resulting, for instance, from wave action. Anoutstanding example of a water body for these problems is Lake Okeechobee, the largestshallow lake in Florida. This lake shows typical signs of artificial eutrophication mainly dueto increased phosphorus loading associated with the surrounding region. Resuspension of sediment at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee composed of fine-grainedmaterial has been examined. A sediment transport model was used to simulate likelytrends in the evolution of the vertical suspended sediment concentration profile resultingfrom wave action, and the corresponding eroded bed depth was calculated through massbalance. Requisite information on characteristic parameters and relationships related tofine sediment erodibility were derived from field sampling of bottom sediment in the lake,and through laboratory experiments using this sediment and lake water.

    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)

    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: A number of wells penetrating the Floridan aquifer in easternClay County were found to be losing water to permeable zones abovethis aquifer. A differential in artesian pressure was observed in closelyspaced wells of similar depth. Further investigation. revealed thatthe pressure differential in the wells was due to the design of thewells, of which there were four principal types.A comparison of the four types of wells in relation to the subsurfacegeology showed that three types of wells were open to the permeablezones above the Floridan aquifer. In such wells water of relativelyhigh head from the Floridan aquifer moves up through the well boreand out into zones of relatively low head.The estimated water loss from poorly designed wells rangedfrom 32 to 180 gpm (gallons per minute). The artesian head loss inleaky wells ranged from 3 to 15 feet. A total loss of water of 39 mgd(million gallons per day) was estimated from all the leaky wells inthe area. A significant decline of the piezometric surface of the Floridanaquifer was observed in eastern Clay County. Some of this decline canbe attributed to the loss of water from the Floridan aquifer throughthese poorly designed wells. (Document has 16 pages.)
