  • Initial Draft – for Discussion Purposes Only
    Initial Draft – For Discussion Purposes Only Draft South Florida Canal Aquatic Life Study October 29, 2012 1 Initial Draft – For Discussion Purposes Only Draft South Florida Canal Aquatic Life Study Background and Introduction The Central & Southern Florida (C&SF) Project, which was authorized by Congress in 1948, has dramatically altered the waters of south Florida. The current C&SF Project includes 2600 miles of canals, over 1300 water control structures, and 64 pump stations1. The C&SF Project, which is operated by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), provides water supply, flood control, navigation, water management, and recreational benefits to south Florida. As a part of the C&SF, there are four major canals running from Lake Okeechobee to the lower east coast – the West Palm Beach Canal (42 miles long), Hillsboro Canal (51 miles), North New River Canal (58 miles) and Miami canal (85 miles). In addition, there are many more miles of primary, secondary and tertiary canals operated as a part of or in conjunction with the C&SF or as a part of other water management facilities within the SFWMD. Other entities operating associated canals include counties and special drainage districts. There is a great deal of diversity in the design, construction and operation of these canals. The hydrology of the canals is highly manipulated by a series of water control structures and levees that have altered the natural hydroperiods and flows of the South Florida watershed on regional to local scales. Freshwater and estuarine reaches of water bodies are delineated by coastal salinity structures operated by the SFWMD.

Seaton, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Thomas B. Nolan, Director GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 382 INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PART 2. SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS By P. R. Speer and A. B. Goodwin Washington, D. C., 1956 Free on application to the Geological Survey, Washington 25, D. C. INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PAET 2. SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS By P. R Speer and A. B. Goodwin EXPLANATION This index lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the South Atlantic slope and Eastern Gulf of Mexico basins for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods prior to September 30, 1955. Periods of record for the same station published by other agencies are listed only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey. The stations are listed in the downstream order first adopted for use in the 1951 series of water-supply papers on surface-water supply of the United States. Starting at the headwater of each stream all stations are listed in a downstream direction. Tributary streams are indicated by indention and are inserted between main-stem stations in the order in which they enter the main stream. To indicate the rank of any tributary on which a record is available and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, each indention in the listing of stations represents one rank.

  • Chapter 1: the Everglades to the 1920S Introduction
    Chapter 1: The Everglades to the 1920s Introduction The Everglades is a vast wetland, 40 to 50 miles wide and 100 miles long. Prior to the twentieth century, the Everglades occupied most of the Florida peninsula south of Lake Okeechobee.1 Originally about 4,000 square miles in extent, the Everglades included extensive sawgrass marshes dotted with tree islands, wet prairies, sloughs, ponds, rivers, and creeks. Since the 1880s, the Everglades has been drained by canals, compartmentalized behind levees, and partially transformed by agricultural and urban development. Although water depths and flows have been dramatically altered and its spatial extent reduced, the Everglades today remains the only subtropical ecosystem in the United States and one of the most extensive wetland systems in the world. Everglades National Park embraces about one-fourth of the original Everglades plus some ecologically distinct adjacent areas. These adjacent areas include slightly elevated uplands, coastal mangrove forests, and bays, notably Florida Bay. Everglades National Park has been recognized as a World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Re- serve, and a Wetland of International Importance. In this work, the term Everglades or Everglades Basin will be reserved for the wetland ecosystem (past and present) run- ning between the slightly higher ground to the east and west. The term South Florida will be used for the broader area running from the Kississimee River Valley to the toe of the peninsula.2 Early in the twentieth century, a magazine article noted of the Everglades that “the region is not exactly land, and it is not exactly water.”3 The presence of water covering the land to varying depths through all or a major portion of the year is the defining feature of the Everglades.

    Water-Quality Assessment of Southern Florida: An Overview of Available Information on Surface and Ground-Water Quality and Ecology By Kirn H. Haag, Ronald L. Miller, Laura A. Bradner, and David S. McCulloch U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4177 Prepared as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program Tallahassee, Florida 1996 FOREWORD The mission of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is to assess the quantity and quality of the earth resources of the Nation and to provide information that will assist resource managers and policymakers at Federal, State, and local levels in making sound decisions. Assessment of water-quality conditions and trends is an important part of this overall mission. One of the greatest challenges faced by water-resources scientists is acquiring reliable information that will guide the use and protection of the Nation's water resources. That challenge is being addressed by Federal, State, interstate, and local water-resource agencies and by many academic institutions. These organizations are collecting water-quality data for a host of purposes that includes: compliance with permits and water-supply standards; development of remediation plans for a specific contamination problem; operational decisions on industrial, wastewater, or water-supply facilities; and research on factors that affect water quality. An additional need for water-quality information is to provide a basis on which regional and national-level policy decisions can be based. Wise decisions must be based on sound information. As a society we need to know whether certain types of water-quality problems are isolated or ubiquitous, whether there are significant differences in conditions among regions, whether the conditions are changing over time, and why these conditions change from place to place and over time.
