Estimates of Upper Floridan Awuifer Recharge Augmentation Based on Hydraulic and Water-Quality Data (1986-2002) from the Water Conserv II RIB Systems, Orange County, Florida

摘要

This report presents in graphical form a substantial part of the data that has been collected from the Water Conserv II RIB sites since 1983, and selected data (lake stages) previously available from the surrounding area. The report also presents the conclusions of analyses concerning the problem of vertical recharge to the Upper Floridan aquifer and whether and by how much it may have increased in the vicinity of the RIB sites. Water level and chemical data from various environments (wastewater flows, surficial aquifer, Upper Floridan aquifer) are exhibited together with timelines to facilitate interpretation. Water level (hydraulic head), chemical, and volumetric flow data are used for interpretations related to the quantity of recharge to the Upper Floridan aquifer.
