Public Water Supply Area SJRWMD

With population expected by 2020 to increase to nearly 5.2 million and total water demand for SJRWMD projected to increase to about 1.85 billion gallons per day These data becomes one part of an integrated water resource allocation and water supply decision-making process. In significant portions of the priority water resource caution areas, alternative water supply sources will have to be developed to meet future needs while sustaining water quality, wetland and aquatic systems, and existing legal uses. Groundwater alone cannot meet all future water supply needs. Development of alternative sources of supply will require cooperation among the water supply utilities, SJRWMD, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. These data represent one of the water supply development components of The St. Johns River Water Management District's (SJRWMD) District Water Supply Plan (DWSP)
