South Florida Ecosystem Program: Quantifying freshwater discharge for coastal hydraulic control structures in eastern Dade County, Florida South Florida Ecosystem Program: Quantifying freshwater discharge for coastal hydraulic control structures in eastern Dade County, Florida
The South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Program is an intergovernmental effort, involving a number of agencies, to reestablish and maintain the ecosystem of south Florida. One element of the restoration effort is the development of a firm scientific basis for resource decision making. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), one of the agencies, provides scientific information as part of the...

Assessment of water quality in the South Indian River Water Control District, Palm Beach County, Florida, 1989-94 Assessment of water quality in the South Indian River Water Control District, Palm Beach County, Florida, 1989-94
The South Indian River Water Control District is located in an area of northern Palm Beach County, Fla., where many residents must rely on private wells for domestic water supplies and individual septic tanks for waste disposal. As a result, contamination of the surficial aquifer system and availability of a potable water supply have become of increasing concern. To address this concern...

Hydrogeologic assessment of shallow clastic and carbonate rock aquifers in Hendry and Collier counties, southwestern Florida Hydrogeologic assessment of shallow clastic and carbonate rock aquifers in Hendry and Collier counties, southwestern Florida
Direct-current electrical resistivity data were collected from 109 vertical electrical sounding sites in Hendry and Collier Counties, southwestern Florida. Selected direct-current electrical resistivity surveys, together with available borehole geologic and geophysical data, were used to determine the approximate areal extent of the shallow clastic aquifers composed of thick sands and...

Assessment of saltwater intrusion in southern coastal Broward County, Florida Assessment of saltwater intrusion in southern coastal Broward County, Florida
Of the counties in southeastern Florida, Broward County has experienced some of the most severe effects of saltwater intrusion into the surficial Biscayne aquifer because, before 1950, most public water-supply well fields in the county were constructed near the principal early population centers located less than 5 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The construction of major regional...

Interactions of mercury with dissolved organic carbon in the Florida Everglades Interactions of mercury with dissolved organic carbon in the Florida Everglades
There has been increased awareness by both public and scientific communities over mercury contamination of game fish in South Florida. Effective management strategies for dealing with this problem will require a more thorough understanding of the factors and processes that result in the generation and transport of mercury, and control its reactivity in the Everglades. The role of mercury

The south Florida environment: A region under stress The south Florida environment: A region under stress
This report provides an overview of the environmental setting in South Florida and serves as review and framework for developing U.S. Geological Survey programs in the region. The report describes the predevelopment and the current (present-day) environmental conditions in South Florida with emphasis on the quantity and quality of water. The geographical area covered is the southern one...
