This study supplements a 1951-1952 U.S. Geological Survey investigation of the ground-water resources of the Naples area. It was directed mainly at obtaining data to determine changes in the amount of ground-water in storage and to monitor the movement of salt water in the area. Additional information was obtained on the physical character of the aquifer and the chemical quality of the water during construction of a new well field in the northeastern part of Naples.

The U.S. Geological Survey began a 3-year investigation in 1967. Its purpose was to provide a general description of the hydrology of Charlotte County, and to identify the major hydrologic problems of the county, particularly with respect to the use of ground and surface water for public supply. Because most of the available surface-water resources in the county had already been developed, emphasis was placed on evaluating the ground-water resources.

Information was obtained in regard to wells, the water-bearing formations, the quality of water, and the general geologic conditions that govern the occurrence of the ground water. Measurements were made periodically on numerous observation wells. Automatic water-stage recorders, which give continuous records of the fluctuations of the water levels, were installed on two non-flowing wells, and recording pressure gauges were installed on three flowing wells that were shut down and not in use. Altitudes of some of the observation wells were determined, so that the height of water in them with reference to sea level may be accurately determined.

Leve, Gilbert W. (Gilbert Warren), Geological Survey (U.S.), Florida Geological Survey
- Abstract/Description
-
This report describes an area of about 2,000 square miles in northeast Florida and southeast Georgia. The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Florida Geological Survey made a reconnaissance to determine the extent and cause of the decline in artesian pressures, and to determine if this decline has resulted in salt-water intrusion in northeast Florida. This report presents and interprets the information collected during the reconnaissance made in January to March 1960.

- Abstract/Description

This report describes an area approximately 8.5 miles long and 6 miles wide, adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean in northeastern Florida. The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Florida Geological Survey made a reconnaissance to determine if there has been any intrusion of salt water into the fresh-water supply or if there is any danger of future intrusion. This report presents the information collected during October and November 1959, and discusses the results of the reconnaissance.

It describes the geology and hydrology of the unconfined aquifer in Charlotte County, and the most feasible methods for reasonably developing the water-supply potential of the aquifer, so that there will not be a long-term decrease in the quantity of water remaining in storage each year. The investigation is based upon information obtained from test holes, observation wells, private wells and excavations into the unconfined aquifer. Some sites outside the county were also investigated to broaden the information base. The overall intent of the investigation is to describe the unconfined aquifer system and to assess the water-supply potential of the aquifer to aid in planning for development and future growth of the county.
