Date Issued:
1976
Summary:
Water samples were collected for radium-226 analysis at selected sites in Hamilton, Suwannee, Columbia, Hillsborough, Polk, Hardee, Manatee, and DeSoto counties. Samples were collected mainly in areas of active and potential phosphate mining. The primary emphasis of the reconnaissance was to sample ground water from the shallow sand aquifer and from both the upper and lower parts of the artesian Floridan aquifer. Some surface-water samples were collected, mainly in the Peace River drainage basin in southwest Florida. In all, 115 water samples were analyzed for radium-226.
