Lower West Coast Hydrogeologic Unit Mapping Update, August 2015

[DOWNLOAD ONLY] These hydrogeologic data for the Lower West Coast of Florida and were compiled in support of the Lower West Coast Water Supply Planning effort documented in Technical Publication WS-35, Hydrogeologic Unit Mapping Update for the Lower West Coast Water Supply Planning Area, August 2015. The objectives of this study were to create regional hydrogeologic maps including contour maps showing unit surfaces and thicknesses, and cross-sections representative of both the surficial aquifer system (SAS) and intermediate aquifer system (IAS). The maps, source data, and metadata used to generate these products are archived in a manner suitable for model implementation and regulatory use in a publicly accessible format. The results will be incorporated into the forthcoming Lower West Coast Surficial Aquifer System and Intermediate Aquifer System Model (LWCSIM), which will evaluate the potential impact of existing and projected groundwater withdrawals in all SAS and IAS aquifers within the region over the next several decades.
