Date Issued:
1957
Summary:
Toward the end of 1951, the Florida Association of Soil Conservation District Supervisors asked soil conservation districts to sponsor local water problem inventories at the county level. Inventory meetings were held in most counties covered by soil conservation districts. In many case farmers, agency and organizational representatives, and business and professional people were asked to participate in the studies of day-by-day problems experienced by local users in attempting to put water to beneficial use. More than 60 inventory reports were sent to the Association. Some 350 problems were cited in the reports. They included problems of damage caused by excess water, damage caused to water itself by pollution or silt and other debris, and problems arising out of attempts to put water to beneficial use. These data have been made available to the Florida Water Resources Study Commission and have proved very helpful to the Commission and a number of its fact-finding committees.
