| Summary: | Upward leakage of saline water from deep artesian wells has caused widespread deterioration in quality of water in the shallow artesian aquifers underlying Lee County, Florida. The water-table aquifer has been affected similarly when saline water from the deep artesian wells has been allowed to discharge at the surface, or when corroded well casings have developed leaks at shallow depth. A program is underway (1972) in Lee County and adjacent areas to minimize or eliminate these problems by plugging deep artesian wells. Although a large number of wells has been plugged in Lee County as well as in other areas, little documentation has been obtained concerning the residual effects on quality of the water in the intruded aquifers after elimination of the discharge or leakage. The purpose of this report is to present the results of an investigation wherein the quality of water in the water-table aquifer improved after a deep artesian well was plugged. | |
