Interesting Information Regarding drinking water in Florida:In an article on the Southern Regional Water Program website the following information can be found regarding drinking water in Florida.
Groundwater is the source of drinking water for 90 percent of Florida. Public water supply use has increased 134 percent since 1970. Data from over 1,900 wells in Florida's monitoring network indicate basically good water quality, but local groundwater contamination problems exist. Agricultural chemicals, including aldicarb, alachlor, bromacil, ethylene dibromide and simazine have caused local and regional problems. Additional threats include petroleum products from leaking underground storage tanks, nitrates from dairy and other livestock operations, fertilizers and pesticides in stormwater runoff, and toxic chemicals leaching from hazardous waste sites. The state requires periodic testing of all community water systems for over 100 toxic organic chemicals.
Potential sources of groundwater contamination are quite numerous in Florida. The state's hydrogeologic features of thin soil layer, a high water table, porous limestone and large quantities of rainfall combined with rapid population growth, result in a groundwater resource that is extremely vulnerable to contamination. There are tens of thousands of point sources such as surface-water impoundments, drainage wells, underground storage tanks, flowing saline water wells, hazardous wastes sites, power plants, landfills and cattle and dairy feedlots. Also, there are numerous septic tanks and urban and industrial areas that may discharge water with poor quality. Sources that have vast potential for groundwater contamination include, coastal saltwater bodies, agricultural and horticultural practices, and mining.
