Florida Ground Water Quality
Monitoring Network
Summary 1994-1997
by Jay Silvanima, Paul Hansard, & David Ouellette
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to present the results of the
background water quality in each of Florida’s major potable aquifer systems for the
time period October 1994 through September 1997. Establishing background water quality of
the state’s major potable aquifers is one of several long-term goals of the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection’s (FDEP’s) Ground Water Quality
Monitoring Program (Maddox et. al, 1992). The three basic goals of the statewide
Ground Water Quality Monitoring Program are:
- To establish the background and baseline ground water quality of major
aquifer systems in the state;
- To detect and predict changes in ground water quality resulting from the
effects of various land uses and potential sources of contamination;
- To disseminate water quality data generated by the network to local
governments and to the public.
