Title: Appraisal of the Water Resources of Charlotte County, Florida.
Name/Creator: Sutcliffe, Horace, Florida, Southwest Florida Water Management District, Floridiana Collection, Southwest Florida Water Management District (Fla.), Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract/Description: The U.S. Geological Survey began a 3-year investigation in 1967. Its purpose was to provide a general description of the hydrology of Charlotte County, and to identify the major hydrologic problems of the county, particularly with respect to the use of ground and surface water for public supply. Because most of the available surface-water resources in the county had already been developed, emphasis was placed on evaluating the ground-water resources. This report summarizes the findings of the...

Title: The Environment of South Florida: A Summary Report : a description of the south Florida ecosystem and changes resulting from man's activities.
Name/Creator: McPherson, Benjamin F.
Abstract/Description: This summary report is an overview of the south Florida environment. It is based on and covers the highlights of 51 separate reports prepared as part of the South Florida Environmental Study. The study identified and described the natural ecosystems of south Florida as they functioned before man began to have major impacts on these systems. Where remnants of natural systems still function as before, they were measured and described. The study also encompassed the agricultural and urban...

This report summarizes the ground-water quality and occurrence and distribution of selected field properties, major inorganic constituents, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds in the three urban areas. In the two Florida urban areas, data are compared to background water-quality data. The distribution of selected trace elements in the two Florida urban areas is also presented.

Title: Hydrologic Aspects of Freshening Upper Old Tampa Bay, Florida.
Name/Creator: Mann, J. A., Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract/Description: The purpose of the study was to evaluate (1) the hydrology of upper Old Tampa Bay under the conditions existing in 1966-69; (2) the hydrologic feasibility of freshening the bay; and (3) the possible hydrologic effects that freshening the bay might have on the aquifer system, particularly with respect to changes in both the level and chemical quality of water in the aquifers. This report summarizes the findings of the study. Its aim is to provide an evaluation of the surface- and ground-water...

This report summarizes the findings of the study. Its aim is to provide an evaluation of the surface- and ground-water resources of the area as related to the proposed freshening; to describe the aspects of hydrology and geology that relate to freshening of upper Old Tampa Bay; to evaluate possible hydrologic changes in the bay and contiguous area caused by the freshening; and to define the effect of freshening on the aquifer system.

Title: Hydrologic Consequences of Using Ground Water to Maintain Lake Levels Affected by Water Wells near Tampa, Florida.
Name/Creator: Stewart, J. W. (Joe W.), Hughes, G. H. (Gilbert H.), Geological Survey (U.S.), Southwest Florida Water Management District (Fla.), Florida
Abstract/Description: Lake levels in the vicinity of Tampa were lower than usual during the decade of 1961 to 1971, largely because of deficient rainfall. The problem was also aggravated locally by the lowering of the ground-water levels caused by pumping at the Section 21 well field of the city of St. Petersburg. The lakes in this area are hydraulically connected with the aquifer system. In order to stop the progressive decline in lake levels, residents at each of several lakes constructed wells near the lakes to...
Show moreLake levels in the vicinity of Tampa were lower than usual during the decade of 1961 to 1971, largely because of deficient rainfall. The problem was also aggravated locally by the lowering of the ground-water levels caused by pumping at the Section 21 well field of the city of St. Petersburg. The lakes in this area are hydraulically connected with the aquifer system. In order to stop the progressive decline in lake levels, residents at each of several lakes constructed wells near the lakes to pump water into them. The purpose of this report is to describe the hydrologic and geologic conditions of the general area of the Section 21 well field where the lake-level maintenance program is being carried on and to evaluate the hydrologic effects of using water from the Floridan Aquifer to maintain the levels of lakes.

Title: Hydrology of Western Collier County, Florida.
Name/Creator: McCoy, H. J. (Henry Jack), Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract/Description: The U.S. Geological Survey was requested in 1967 to locate areas that would most likely yield the greatest quantities of the best quality water to satisfy the projected municipal needs of western Collier County. The investigation included the following phases: evaluation of existing data; determination of the hydrologic and geologic characteristics of the subsurface materials; collection of miscellaneous discharge data in the inland canal complex and interpretation of the data; and...

Abstract/Description: This document presents the 1993-97 water year water budgets for the lake, surface- and ground-water quality, the characteristics of the downstream estuary, and the effects of the reservoir on the hydrologic system. Water-quality data for Ward Lake, the upstream tributaries, the shallow ground water, and the Braden River estuary are presented. The effects of the reservoir on the hydrologic system are also discussed.
