Water conditions in the Shark River Estuary of Everglades National Park
Title
Water conditions in the Shark River Estuary of Everglades National Park.
Name/Creator
Everglades National Park (Agency : U.S.), United States, Geological Survey (U.S.), PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description
The monthly range of chlorinity in the estuary was the lowest for the month of July since the beginning of record in 1962. The downstream low salinities resulted from heavy rains in previous months. For instance, in June 1966 a record rainfall in excess of 20 inches fell on the open glades. During the month the 500 parts per million (ppm) isochlor, which is essentially the fresh-brackish water line, fluctuated between mid-Tarpoon Bay and the upper Shark River.

Water resources for central and southern Florida
Title
Water resources for central and southern Florida: main report.
Name/Creator
United States, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description
The Central and Southern Florida Project was authorized by Congress in 1948 and was modified by later acts. The project provided for flood protection, drainage, and allied purposes including conservation of water for use in dry periods. At the time of this report, the project was about 55 percent complete and many of the benefits had been realized. There was a need, however, for additional provisions for water supply.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Uptake in the Everglades Conservation Areas, Florida, with Special Reference to the Effects of Backpumping Runoff
Title
Nitrogen and Phosphorus Uptake in the Everglades Conservation Areas, Florida, with Special Reference to the Effects of Backpumping Runoff: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations 76-29.
Name/Creator
McPherson, Benjamin F., Waller, Bradley G., Mattraw, H. C., United States, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description
In much of the water pumped into the northern Everglades, Florida,concentrations of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus are relatively high. These nutrients are transported in the canals or into the peripheral marshes. Concentrations decrease sharply within 330 feet or less of the canals, whereas specific conductance remains essentially unchanged within this distance. The sharp decrease in inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus near the canal edge indicates net uptake in these shallow waters....
Show moreIn much of the water pumped into the northern Everglades, Florida,concentrations of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus are relatively high. These nutrients are transported in the canals or into the peripheral marshes. Concentrations decrease sharply within 330 feet or less of the canals, whereas specific conductance remains essentially unchanged within this distance. The sharp decrease in inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus near the canal edge indicates net uptake in these shallow waters. Concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus also decrease as water moves through the conservation areas in canals. The authors suggest that the decrease is due partly to dilution by rainfall and runoff, and partly to net uptake in the canals and their peripheral marsh., (DTIC Abstract): Water backpumped into Conservation Areas 1 and 3 is confined largely to canals and peripheral marshes. Water pumped into Area 2 extends into the interior marshes. Water that is backpumped into all three areas can alter water quality in the canals by breaking up water stratification,by resuspending bottom sediments, and by introducing water of a different chemical character. Concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus decrease as water moves through the conservation areas in canals. This decrease is due partly to dilution by rainfall and runoff, and partly to net uptake in the canals and peripheral marsh. Uptake, estimated for three canals, accounted for a 2-percent decrease in phosphorus per mile and a 4-percent decrease in nitrogen per mile.

Recommendations to clean up and protect the Biscayne Aquifer in Southeast Florida
Title
Recommendations to clean up and protect the Biscayne Aquifer in Southeast Florida.
Name/Creator
United States, Meridian Communications, Rifkin and Associates, CH2M Hill, inc, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description
The Biscayne Aquifer is an underground pool of water that provides virtually all the water used by people and businesses in the area. By nature, it's clean, fresh water. Thousands of public and private wells are drilled into the aquifer and those wells supply water to about three million people in Dade, Broward, southern Palm Beach and eastern Monroe Counties. But even though it's underground, the water is close to the surface and can easily get polluted.

South Florida ecological study
Title
South Florida ecological study. Appendix IV. Distribution of pesticides in a south Florida watershed.
Name/Creator
Harriss, Robert C., United States, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description
This report gives the results of a survey of pesticides in soils, canal sediments and estuarine sediments in the Everglades watershed. The extremely low solubility of the persistent organochlorine pesticides and their tendency to adsorb on particulate matter suggests that the most likely mode of transport of pesticides from agricultural areas to the estuaries will be in association with sediments.

Investigations into the mineral nutrition of sawgrass using experimental culture techniques
Title
Investigations into the mineral nutrition of sawgrass using experimental culture techniques.
Name/Creator
Steward, Kerry K., Ornes, W. Harold (Walter Harold), United States, United States, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description
"Sawgrass (Cladium Jamaicense Crantz) seedlings were grown in virgin soil in a greenhouse to determine the mineral-nutrient status of plants in the field, as well as their response to nutrient enrichment. Addition of small quantities of phosphorus produced significant increases in dry weight, shoot length, and vegetative reproduction of new plants. Growth responses of seedlings were highly related to P levels in tissues. There appeared to be an optimum P level in tissue, however, as higher...

Addition of small quantities of phosphorus produced significant increases in dry weight, shoot length, and vegetative reproduction of new plants. Growth responses of seedlings were highly related to P levels in tissues. There appeared to be an optimum P level in tissue, however, as higher levels inhibited dry-matter production, shoot elongation, and new shoot production. This was a signifcant finding, indicating that serious consequences may result from discharging nutrient-rich waters into the Everglades marshes. Critical P concentration was determined to be higher in seedlings than in sawgrass plants from the field. It was concluded that experimentally determined critical nutrient levels do not adequately diagnose the nutrient status of plants in the field"--Transmittal letter.

Agricultural runoff and urban stormwater have introduced high levels of phosphorus, mercury, and other contaminants into the water system, polluting lakes, rivers, estuaries and the Everglades., Abnormally high discharge of stormwater into estuaries and coastal waters has severely degraded aquatic habitats that support fish, birds and other species. Groundwater is threatened by saltwater intrusion and other marine-induced pollutants. The South Florida Ecosystem Restoration project consists of nearly 200 environmental restoration, growth management, agricultural, and urban revitalization projects, programs, and initiatives that are designed to make South Florida more sustainable in the future.

Man has engaged in cultural activities, both agricultural and urban, which have affected the water quality in the northern and eastern segments of the area of investigation. The quality of the water improves, however, as it flows to the south and east because there is minimal input from man's activities and many of the constituents are assimilated by plants, sorbed on organic material and clay in the bottom sediments, and entrapped within the sediments. Because of these processes, the water entering Everglades National Park is of better quality than that entering the conservation areas in the north"--P. 8.
