In June 1988, the Florida Geological Survey and the South Florida Water Management District entered into a contract to conduct a joint project in Lee, Hendry and Collier counties. The objectives of this project were to increase the geologic/hydrogeologic well data available in these counties, to translate existing lithologic descriptions of wells within the district to computer format and to add this data to the District computer data base. These objectives were met by the translation of over...

The objectives of this project were to increase the geologic/hydrogeologic well data available in these counties, to translate existing lithologic descriptions of wells within the district to computer format and to add this data to the District computer data base. These objectives were met by the translation of over 180 existing well logs to computer format, by drilling and evaluating the data for six cores, and merging all of this data with the existing FGS and District computer data bases.

- Florida's Ground Water Quality Monitoring Program: background hydrogeochemistry.
- Name/Creator
-
Maddox, Gary., Florida, Florida, Florida, Florida, Thirty County Ground Water Monitoring Program (Fla.), Florida Geological Survey
- Abstract/Description
-
This report presents the results of the initial quantification of background water quality in each of Florida's major potable aquifer systems. It contains a series of maps which provide the background hydrogeochemical parameters present within the state's principal aquifer systems. Results are interpreted in light of factors that affect ambient ground-water quality locally and regionally.

Rupert, Frank., Florida Geological Survey
- Abstract/Description
-
Warm Mineral Springs is a 70 meter deep water-filled sinkhole in southern Sarasota County, Florida. Mineral-rich anaerobic water enters the sink through a spring vent near the bottom of the north wall of the sink. In 1991, divers explored and mapped the spring's primary conduit to its terminus, a distance of 53 meters. Twenty-one geological samples were collected at three meter depth intervals from the north wall of the sink for stratigraphic analysis. The samples revealed the sinkhole is...

Mineral-rich anaerobic water enters the sink through a spring vent near the bottom of the north wall of the sink. In 1991, divers explored and mapped the spring's primary conduit to its terminus, a distance of 53 meters. Twenty-one geological samples were collected at three meter depth intervals from the north wall of the sink for stratigraphic analysis. The samples revealed the sinkhole is developed in carbonates belonging to the Miocene Arcadia Formation of the Hawthorn Group. This unit is unconformably overlain by Pleistocene Ft. Thompson Formation and undifferentiated Pleistocene sands. A map of the spring cave and a geologic section for the sinkhole are illustrated.

This study supplements a 1951-1952 U.S. Geological Survey investigation of the ground-water resources of the Naples area. It was directed mainly at obtaining data to determine changes in the amount of ground-water in storage and to monitor the movement of salt water in the area. Additional information was obtained on the physical character of the aquifer and the chemical quality of the water during construction of a new well field in the northeastern part of Naples. This supplementary report...

This supplementary report was prepared chiefly from data obtained through the city's efforts to establish a permanent well field.

"This report summarizes available data on the surface-water resources of Baker County and evaluates the present and potential use of these resources. The county needs the hydrologic data for the design of shallow reservoirs on small streams to impound water for recreational uses. The report provides data which will be useful not only for the specific purpose of planning small artificial lakes but also for the formulation of plans for the future development and economic growth of the county."-...

- Preliminary Investigation of the Ground-Water Resources of Northeast Florida.
- Name/Creator

Leve, Gilbert W. (Gilbert Warren), Geological Survey (U.S.), Florida Geological Survey
- Abstract/Description
-
This report describes an area of about 2,000 square miles in northeast Florida and southeast Georgia. The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Florida Geological Survey made a reconnaissance to determine the extent and cause of the decline in artesian pressures, and to determine if this decline has resulted in salt-water intrusion in northeast Florida. This report presents and interprets the information collected during the reconnaissance made in January to March 1960.

The purposes of this report are to: (1) describe the hydrogeology of the Floridan aquifer system in south Florida and its relation to the practice of subsurface storage, (2) discuss the rules and regulations concerned with the control of underground (subsurface) injection, (3) identify and quantify the types of liquid wastes which have been injected into the Floridan aquifer system, and (4) identify and summarize the results of pilot studies concerned with the storage of freshwater in the...

Water-bearing zones in the Floridan aquifer system that were receiving liquid wastes as of 1984 are identified and described. Legislation by federal and state governments that regulate underground injection is discussed. Data are presented on the injected amounts of brine from oil fields, treated wastewater from municipalities, liquid wastes from industries, and amounts of freshwater stored and recovered by pilot studies designed to explore use of freshwater injection, storage, and recovery as a water-supply alternative.
