Floridan Aquifer System Groundwater Availability Study

Visual Gallery


Hydrogeology Layers Preliminary model of the hydrogeologic layers based on USGS PP1403B (Miller, 1986). The 3 dimensional model was produced by Joann Dixon (USGS) using CTech's EVS Pro software.

This animation first shows the state of Florida and neighboring states, Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama. The view will tilt up to show the bathymetry (blue), surficial aquifer system (green), upper confining layer (yellow) and the Floridan Aquifer System (orange) intersect. It will then cut back thru the layers from the south to the north to show the layers underground.

Hydrogeology Layers Another preliminary model of the hydrogeologic layers based on USGS PP1403B (Miller, 1986). The 3 dimensional model was produced by Joann Dixon (USGS) using CTech's EVS Pro software.

The video animation will spin around once and then show a cut away from the west in the Gulf of Mexico to the east in the Atlantic Ocean to show the geology layers below land surface.

Hydrogeology Layers Preliminary Geologic Model of major stratigraphic units in the Floridan Aquifer System based on USGS PP1403B (Miller, 1986)

The model was built by Rick Lane (Aranz Geo Ltd.) and Lester Williams (USGS) using Leapfrog Hydro V.1.3.1. Numerical modeling in the software was used to constrain layering to boreholes and some surface outcrops. Internal extents of some layers that are known to be absent (Oligocene) have not yet been constrained within the model. Also, bathemetry has not been incorporated. Imagery shown is from Google Earth.

Color Key
 Surficial - Yellow
Miocene - Brown
Oligocene - Green
Late Eocene - Red
Middle Eocene - Aqua
Early Eocene - Dark Pink
Paleocene - Light Pink
Cretaceous - Blue
