Reconnaissance of the water resources in the vicinity of proposed deep-well injection sites in southeast Dade County, Florida Reconnaissance of the water resources in the vicinity of proposed deep-well injection sites in southeast Dade County, Florida

Deep-well injection has been selected by the Dade County Water and Sewer Authority as a means of disposing treated waste water in southeast Dade County. Preliminary plans call for the construction of a county-owned sanitary sewage treatment plant and several 3,000-foot deep injection wells at 1,000-foot intervals on Levee 31E. As a first stage, drilling of seven wells, capable of...

Water quality at Miami International Airport, Miami, Florida, 1971–72 Water quality at Miami International Airport, Miami, Florida, 1971–72

The quality of water, sediment, and biota was determined at four sites in canals and drainage ditches at Miami International Airport (MIA) during high- and low-water periods and during summer and winter 1971–72. Concentrations of common ions, such as calcium, sodium, chloride, and magnesium, tended to be above average for fresh water because of periodic salt-water intrusion. Nitrogen...

Analysis of water level data for Everglades National Park, Florida Analysis of water level data for Everglades National Park, Florida

Stage-duration curves were developed for five gaging stations in Everglades National Park, Florida. Four of the five curves show similar characteristics with an increase in the slope when the water level is below land surface. Monthly stage-duration curves, developed for one of the stations, reflect the seasonal trends of the water level. Recession curves were prepared for the same five...

Sediment loads in canals 18, 23, and 24 in southeastern Florida Sediment loads in canals 18, 23, and 24 in southeastern Florida

Suspended-sediment concentrations and suspended-sediment discharges were determined in selected canals in St. Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach Counties, in southeastern Florida. Sediment rating curves were developed to relate water discharge to sediment concentration at the three sites sampled. An evaluation of the concentration and sediment loads shows that larger amounts of suspended...
