Appraisal of water resources in the east central Florida region
The rapidly expanding population and economic growth in the sevencounties of the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council as shown inFigure 1, herein called the East Central Florida Region or the Region, hasresulted in increasing demands on its water resources. Although there isabundant water in the Region as a whole, the water in some areas of the Regionis of unacceptable quality for most uses. As the population increases the demandfor water will become much greater and the available supply may be reduced bypollution and increased drainage necessitated by urbanization and other landdevelopment- Ground-water supplies can be increased by capturing and storingwater underground that now drains to the sea or evaporates from swamp areas.Research is needed, however, to develop artificial-recharge methods that arefeasible and which will preserve or improve the quality of water in the aquifer.(PDF contains 57 pages)
