Hydrogeologic maps of proposed flood detention area proposed by Southwest Florida Water Management District, Green Swamp area, Florida

Information about the hydrogeology of that part of the Green Swamp area which has been designated by Southwest Florida Water Management District as the flood detention area is given on seven maps. The maps show (1) core-hole numbers, (2) sand thickness, (3) clay thickness, (4) clay vertical hydraulic conductivity, (5) clay leakance, (6) depth to Floridan aquifer, and (7) altitude of top of Floridan aquifer. The data were obtained from 85 core holes drilled in 1977 and from 24 core holes drilled previously. The 127 square-mile study area is part of the headwaters of the Withlacoochee River and the Little Withlacoochee River. The data will be useful in future water-resources planning and in a concurrent interpretive study of the Green Swamp area.
