Water withdrawals, use, discharge, and trends in Florida, 1995
The report summarizes the quantities of water withdrawn, consumed, and discharged in 1995, and indicates trends in water use. Overall, the report provides a basis for estimating water budgets and projecting future water needs. Data are presented on water withdrawals in Florida for each of the following water use categories: public supply, domestic self-supplied, commercial-industrial self-supplied (including mining uses), agricultural self-supplied (including irrigation and nonirrigation uses), recreational irrigation, and power generation. The only instream use of water presented in this report is for hydroelectric power generation. Within each category, withdrawal data are presented by source (ground or surface water), and where sufficient data are available, seasonal and historical patterns of water use are described. Data also are presented by county and water management district for each water use category. Information about specific public-supply water systems and domestic and industrial wastewater facilities is included in the appendixes.
