Effects of paved surfaces on recharge to the Floridan aquifer in east-central Florida

Date Issued:
1978
Summary:
The purpose of this report is to illustrate that recharge to the Floridan aquifer need not be reduced by development, providing that a means of emplacing increased runoff into the nonartesian aquifer is available. Based on simplified concepts, a mathematical model is developed to show approximate interrelations of rainfall, runoff, evapotranspiration, depth to water table, depth to potentiometric surface of the Florida aquifer, percent impervious (paved) area, and Florida aquuifer recharge. This model is used to make quantitative estimates of amounts of water available for Floridan aquifer recharge in the east-central Florida region before and after paving.
