GLOSSARY

Advanced wastewater treatment. -- Any treatment of sewage that goes beyond the 

secondary or biological water treatment stage and includes the removal of nutrients, 

such as phosphorus and nitrogen and a high percentage of suspended solids. This 

treatment is more stringent than secondary treatment, and requires an 85 percent 

reduction in conventional pollutant concentrations or a significant reduction in nonconventional pollutants (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1997, written 

commun.). 

Agriculture water use.--Includes water used for agricultural irrigation and nonirrigation 

purposes. Irrigation water use includes the artificial application of water on lands to 

assist in the growing of crops, plants, and pasture, or to maintain vegetative growth in 

recreational lands, parks, and golf courses. Nonirrigation water use includes water 

used for livestock, fish farming, and other farm needs. Livestock water use includes 

water used for stock watering, feedlots, and dairy operations. 

Commercial water use.--Water for motels, hotels, restaurants, office buildings, commercial facilities and civilian and military institutions. The water may be obtained from a 

public supply or may be self-supplied.

Community water system.--A public water system which serves at least 15 service connections used by year-round residents or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents (Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, 1990a).

Consumptive use.--That part of water withdrawn that is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or crops, consumed by humans or livestock, or otherwise 

removed from the immediate water environment. Sometimes called water consumed 

or water depleted.

Cooling pond.--Usually a manmade water body used by power plants or large industrial 

plants that enables the facility to recirculate once-through cooling water. The water 

levels in the pond are usually maintained by rainfall or augmented by pumping (withdrawal of) water from another source (fresh, saline, or reclaimed). 

Cooling tower.--A large tower or stack that is used for heat exchange of once-through 

cooling water generated by steam condensers. Hot water from the plant is sprayed 

into the top of the tower and exchanges heat with the passing air as it falls. The water 

is then collected at the bottom of the tower and used again. A small amount of water 

is lost (consumed) through evaporation in this process. See cooling water or oncethrough cooling. 

Cooling water.--Water used for cooling purposes by electric generators, steam condensers, large machinery or products at power or industrial plants. Water used for cooling 

purposes can be either fresh, saline, or reclaimed and may be used only once or recirculated multiple times. See cooling pond or once-through cooling water. 

Desalination.--The removal of salts from water. Desalination is primarily used for publicsupply water to ensure that it meets Florida Department of Environmental Protection 

secondary drinking standards. The three primary types of desalination used in Florida 

are: (1) distillation, (2) electrodialysis processes, and (3) reverse osmosis processes 

(Buros, 1989, South Florida Water Management District, 1990). The reverse osmosis 

processes are the most commonly used in Florida followed by electrodialysis (Dykes 

and Conlon, 1989). In addition to these three desalination processes, many public 

suppliers also dilute or blend brackish or saline water with fresher water to produce 

potable water. Also see reverse osmosis. 

Dewatering.--The deliberate attempt to lower the ground-water level in or below land 

surface for selected purposes such as agricultural, construction, mining or other 

activities. For mining operation, dewatering usually is accomplished by pumping the 

water out of the ground and discharging to a surface-water body. However, some 

dewatering involves gravity feeding water from the surficial aquifer into a deeper 

aquifer (usually the Floridan aquifer system) through recharge wells (Campbell, 
Contents vii

1986). In Florida, this discharge usually requires a permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Domestic wastewater facility.--Facilities that receive or dispose of wastewater derived 

principally from residential dwellings, business or commercial buildings, institutions, 

and the like (Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, 1991). Can also 

include some wastewater derived from industrial facilities. May also be referred to as 

a municipal wastewater facility. 

Domestic water use.--Water for normal household purposes, such as drinking, food preparation, bathing, washing clothes and dishes, flushing toilets, and watering lawns and 

gardens. Also called residential water use. The water can be obtained from a public 

supply or be self-supplied. 

Effluent.--Water that flows out of a wastewater treatment facility or other works used for 

the purpose of treating, stabilizing, or holding waste.

Flood irrigation.-- Irrigation systems that control the water table with lateral supply 

ditches. These include open field ditch systems (furrows), semi-closed conveyance 

systems, subsurface conduit systems, crown flood systems, and continuous flood 

systems. Also includes seepage or subsurface irrigation systems. The efficiencies of 

these flood irrigation systems range from 20 to 80 percent (Smajstrla and others, 

1988), however, an average of 60 percent is commonly used for estimating water 

requirements. May also be referred to as subsurface irrigation. 

Freshwater.--Water that contains less than 1,000 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of dissolved 

solids; generally, more than 500 mg/L is considered undesirable for drinking and 

many industrial uses. Generally, freshwater is considered potable.

Gigawatthour (GWh).--A measure of electricity, one billion watthours.

Ground water.--Specifically, that part of the subsurface water that is in the saturated zone 

(a zone in which all voids are filled with water).

Ground-water disposal.--Wastewater that is disposed of through the ground either by 

injection or seepage. This includes the following discharge methods; absorption beds, 

injection wells, drainfields, percolation ponds, rapid infiltration basins, spray fields, 

and land application systems (Marella, 1994). Land application systems or reuse systems are considered a ground-water disposal as treated wastewater used to irrigate is 

generally intended to filter down through the soil.

Hydroelectric power water use.--The use of water in the generation of electricity at 

plants where the turbine generators are driven by falling water. This is considered an 

instream use of water. 

Industrial wastewater facility.--Facilities that produce, treat or dispose of wastewater 

not otherwise defined as a domestic wastewater; includes the runoff and leachate 

from areas that receive pollutants associated with industrial or commercial storage, 

handling, or processing (Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, 1991).

Industrial water use.--Water used for industrial purposes such as fabricating, processing, 

washing, and cooling, and includes such industries as steel, chemical and allied products, paper and allied products, mining, and petroleum refining. The water can be 

obtained from a public supply or be self-supplied.

Instream use.--Water use taking place within a stream channel for such purposes as 

hydroelectric power generation, navigation, water-quality improvement, fish and 

wildlife propagation, and recreation. Sometimes called nonwithdrawal use or inchannel use.

Micro-irrigation.--Irrigation systems that apply water directly to, or very near, the soil 

surface, either above the ground or into the air, in discrete drops, continuous drops, 

small streams, mist, or sprays. These include drip systems, spray systems, jet systems, and bubbler systems. Also referred to as drip, low pressure or low volume irrigation. The efficiencies of these micro-irrigation systems range from 75 to 95 percent 

(Smajstrla and others, 1988), however, an average of 80 percent is commonly used 

for estimating water requirements. 
viii Contents

Mining water use.--Water used for the extraction of minerals and liquids. Mining also 

includes water used for milling (such as crushing, screening, washing, and flotation), 

environmental purposes (such as dust control and wetland restoration or maintenance), material conveyance, dewatering, and domestic uses on the premises. Generally, most of the water used at a mining operation is self-supplied. 

Navigational water use.--Water utilized as a means of commercial (and sometimes recreational) transportation. Includes water used to lift a vessel in a lock, or maintain a 

navigable channel level. Navigational water use is considered a nonconsumptive 

instream use of water and is generally not measured.

Net water use.--Water withdrawals plus or minus water transfers. In most counties, the 

net water use and water withdrawals are equal. However, in counties involved in 

water transfers (imports and exports), the net water use represents the actual amount 

of water used regardless of the amount of water withdrawn. In Florida, water transfers are mostly found in the public supply category. Also see water transfers.

Non-Community water system.--A public water system which provides piped water for 

human consumption to at least 15 service connections or which serves at least 

25 individuals at least 60 days out of the year but which is not a community water 

system. The difference between a community water system and a non-community 

water system is that the former serves inhabitants whereas the latter serves transients 

or non-residents who other wise do not inhabit the building served by the system. 

(Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, 1990a).

Non-Transient Non-Community water system.--A public water system that is not a 

community water system and that regularly serves at least 25 of the same persons 

over a 6 month period. (Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, 1990a).

Once-through cooling water.--Water (fresh or saline) that is withdrawn from a river, 

stream or other water body (manmade or natural), or a well, that is passed through a 

steam condenser one time, and then returned to the river or stream or other water 

body some distance from the intake (Hughes, 1975). Once-through cooling water is 

used to exchange the heat from the steam condensers to the cooler water. This 

method of cooling is commonly used in power production throughout Florida, and 

usually results in no consumption. 

Offstream use.--Water withdrawn or diverted from a ground- or surface-water source for 

public-water supply, industry, irrigation, livestock, thermoelectric power generation, 

and other uses. Sometimes called off-channel use or withdrawal use.

Other water use.--Water used in Florida for such purposes as heating, cooling, irrigation 

(public-supplied only), lake augmentation, and other nonspecific uses. The water can 

be obtained from a public supply or be self-supplied.

Per capita use.--The average amount of water used per person during a standard time 

period, generally per day.

Potable water.-- Water that meets the quality standards set by the Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection. Potable water is considered safe for human consumption 

and is often referred to as drinking water. In Florida, chloride and dissolved-solids 

concentrations in potable water must be less than or equal to 250 and 500 mg/L, 

respectively. Freshwater that exceeds these chloride and dissolved solids limits is 

often referred to as slightly saline, brackish, or nonpotable water and is either diluted 

with fresher water or treated through a desalination process to meet potable-water 

standards for public supply. 

Primary wastewater treatment.--First step in wastewater treatment where screens and 

sedimentation tanks are used to remove most materials that float or settle. Primary 

treatment removes about 30 percent of carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand 

from domestic sewage (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1997, written commun.). 

Public supply.--Water withdrawn by public or private water suppliers and delivered to 

users who do not supply their own water. Water suppliers provide water for a variety 

of uses, such as domestic, commercial, industrial, thermoelectric power (domestic 
Contents ix

and cooling purposes), and public-water use. According to the Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection, any water system that serves more than 25 people or has 

15 year-round service connections is considered a community public supplier (Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, 1990a). For this report, public supply 

includes those systems that serve more than 400 people or use more than 10,000 gallons per day.

Public-water use.--Water supplied from a public-water supply and used for such purposes 

as firefighting, street washing, and municipal parks and swimming pools. Publicwater use also includes system water losses (water lost to leakage) and unusable 

water discharged from desalination or lime-softening facilities. Also referred to as 

utility-water use.

Reclaimed water.--Water that has received at least secondary treatment and is reused after 

leaving a wastewater treatment facility. 

Recycled water.--Water that is used more than one time before it passes back into the 

natural hydrological system or is discharged into a wastewater system. Also referred 

to as recirculated water. 

Resident population.--The number of persons who live in a State who consider the State 

their permanent place of residence. College students, military personnel, and inmates 

of penal institutions are counted as permanent residents. According to this definition, 

tourist and seasonal or part-time residents are considered nonresident population.

Residential water use.--See domestic water use.

Reuse system.--The deliberate application of reclaimed water for a beneficial or other 

useful purpose. Reuse may encompass landscape irrigation (such as golf courses, 

cemeteries, highway medians, parks, playgrounds, school yards, nurseries, and residential properties), agricultural irrigation (such as food and fruit crops, wholesale 

nurseries, sod farms and pasture grass), aesthetic uses, ground-water recharge, environmental enhancement of surface water and wetland restoration, fire protection, and 

other useful purposes. 

Reverse osmosis.--The process of removing salts from water using a membrane. With 

reverse osmosis, the product water passes through a fine membrane that the salts are 

unable to pass through, and the salt waste (brine) is removed and disposed. This 

differs from electrodialysis where the salts are extracted from the feedwater by using 

a membrane with an electrical current to separate the ions. During electrodialysis the 

positive ions flow through one membrane, while the negative ions flow through a 

different membrane, leaving freshwater as the end product. In this report, reverse 

osmosis includes any water treated through both reverse osmosis and electrodialysis 

and any water diluted or blended with fresher water that was used to obtain potable 

water. Also see desalination. 

Saline water.--Water that contains more than 1,000 mg/L of dissolved solids.

Secondary wastewater treatment.--The second step in most domestic wastewater treatment systems in which bacteria consume the organic parts of the waste. This treatment removes floating and settleable solids and about 90 percent of the oxygendemanding substances and suspended solids. Disinfection is the final stage of secondary treatment (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1997, written commun.). 

Self-supplied water.--Water withdrawn from a ground- or surface-water source by a user 

and not obtained from a public supply.

Settling pond.--A holding pond for wastewater where heavier particles sink to the bottom 

for removal and disposal. 

Sprinkler irrigation.--A pressurized irrigation system where water is distributed through 

pipes to the field and applied through a variety of sprinkler heads or nozzles. Pressure 

is used to spread water droplets above the crop canopy to simulate a rainfall (Izuno 

and Haman, 1987). These systems include portable and traveling guns, solid or 

permanent fixtures (overhead or pop ups), center pivots, and periodic moving 

systems. Also referred to as overhead irrigation. The efficiencies of these sprinkler 
x Contents

irrigation systems range from 15 to 85 percent (Smajstrla and others, 1988), however, 

an average of 70 percent is commonly used for estimating water requirements. 

Surface-water disposal.-- Refers to the release of reclaimed water or treated effluent 

directly into a surface water body (including marshes or wetlands). This does not 

include water discharged into ponds for holding or percolation purposes (Marella, 

1994). 

Tail-water runoff.--Unused irrigation water or rain water that is collected at the base or 

end of an irrigated system or field in a ditch or impoundment. This water may be 

reused again for irrigation purposes, be left to evaporate, percolate into the ground, 

receive treatment, and (or) be discharged to surface-water bodies. 

Thermoelectric power.--Electrical power generated by using fossil fuel (coal, oil, natural 

gas or biomass), geothermal, or nuclear energy.

Thermoelectric power water use.--Water used in the process of the generation of electric 

power. The majority of water used for this category is for cooling purposes (much of 

which is used for once-through cooling). Water is also used for boiler makeup or 

domestic purposes throughout the plant. Boiler makeup water and water used for 

domestic purposes are generally obtained from public supply, however, for plants 

located in remote areas, this water can be self-supplied. Cooling water is generally 

self-supplied, although some smaller plants use public-supply water for cooling 

purposes. 

Treated (wastewater) effluent.--Water that has received primary, secondary, or advanced 

treatment and is released from a wastewater facility after treatment. 

Wastewater.--A combination of liquid and water-carried pollutants from residential or 

commercial buildings, industrial plants, and institutions. Wastewater may include 

any ground water, surface runoff, or leachate that may be present in the system. 

Water transfer.--Artificial conveyance of water from one area to another across a political or hydrological boundary. This is referred to as an import or export of water from 

one basin or county to another.

Water use.--1) In a restrictive sence, the term refers to water that is actually used for a 

specific purpose such as domestic use, irrigation, or industial processing. 2) More 

broadly, water use pertains to human’s interaction with and influence on the hydrologic cycle, and includes elements such as water withdrawals, deliveries, consumptive use, wastewater releases, reclaimed wastewater, return flow and instream use.

Withdrawal.--Water removed from the ground or diverted from a surface-water 

source.The amount of water withdrawn may not equal the amount of water used due 

to water transfers or the recirculation or recycling of the same water. For example, a 

power plant may use the same water multiple times but withdraw a significantly different amount.
Abstract 1

Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends 

in Florida, 1995

By Richard L. Marella

Abstract

In 1995, the total amount of water withdrawn in Florida was nearly 18,200 million gallons per day (Mgal/d), of which 60 percent was 

saline and 40 percent was freshwater. Ground 

water accounted for 60 percent of freshwater withdrawals and surface water accounted for the 

remaining 40 percent. Ninety-three percent of the 

14.15 million people in Florida relied on ground 

water for their drinking water needs in 1995. 

Almost all (99.9 percent) saline water withdrawals 

were from surface water. 

Public supply accounted for 43 percent of 

ground water withdrawn in 1995, followed by agricultural self-supplied (35 percent), commercialindustrial self-supplied (including mining) (10 percent), domestic self-supplied (7 percent), recreational irrigation (4.5 percent), and power 

generation (0.5 percent). Agricultural self-supplied 

accounted for 60 percent of fresh surface water 

withdrawn in 1995, followed by power generation 

(21 percent), commercial-industrial self-supplied 

(9 percent), public supply (7 percent), and recreational irrigation (3 percent). Almost all of saline 

water withdrawn was used for power generation. 

The largest amount of freshwater was withdrawn in Palm Beach County and the largest 

amount of saline water was withdrawn in Hillsborough County. Significant withdrawals (more than 

200 Mgal/d) of fresh ground water occurred in 

Dade, Broward, Polk, Orange, and Palm Beach 

Counties. Significant withdrawals (more than 

200 Mgal/d) of fresh surface water occurred in 

Palm Beach, Hendry, and St. Lucie Counties. The 

South Florida Water Management District 

accounted for the largest amount of freshwater 

withdrawn (nearly 50 percent). 

About 57 percent of the total ground water 

withdrawn was from the Floridan aquifer system; 

20 percent was from the Biscayne aquifer. Most of 

the surface water used in Florida was from managed and maintained canal systems or large water 

bodies. Major sources of fresh surface water 

include the Caloosahatchee River, Deer Point 

Lake, Hillsborough River, Lake Apopka, Lake 

Okeechobee and associated canals, and the St. 

Johns River. 

Freshwater withdrawals increased nearly 

29 percent in Florida between 1970 and 1995. 

Ground-water withdrawals increased 56 percent, 

and surface-water withdrawals increased 2 percent 

during this period. Between 1990 and 1995, freshwater withdrawals decreased 5 percent. Fresh 

ground-water withdrawals decreased 7 percent, and 

fresh surface-water withdrawals decreased 

1 percent during this period. Saline water withdrawals increased 13 percent between 1970 and 1995, 

and increased 6 percent between 1990 and 1995. 

 An estimated 39 percent of the freshwater 

withdrawn in Florida was consumed; the remaining 61 percent was returned for use again. Wastewater discharged from the 615 treatment facilities 

inventoried in 1995 totaled 1,836 Mgal/d, of 

which 84 percent was from domestic wastewater 

facilities and the remaining 16 percent was from 

industrial facilities. Domestic wastewater discharge increased 37 percent between 1985 and 

1995, while industrial wastewater discharge 

increased 7 percent during this period. 
2 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

Water resources are one of Florida’s most valued 

assets. The State has more than 1,700 streams and rivers and 7,800 freshwater lakes, and is underlain virtually everywhere by aquifers capable of yielding 

significant quantities of freshwater to wells. These 

water resources provide for human and environmental 

needs. However, the resources are finite and growth in 

population, tourism, and agriculture are placing an 

increasing demand on them. 

The population of Florida in 1995 totaled nearly 

14.15 million (University of Florida, 1996), ranking 

fourth in the Nation (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1997). 

This represents an increase of about 411 percent from 

the 1950 population of 2.77 million (Dietrich, 1978), 

and a 9 percent increase from the 1990 population of 

12.94 million (Smith, 1991) (fig. 1). Florida's population is projected to reach nearly 16 million by the year 

2000, and 20 million by the year 2020 (Smith and 

Nogle, 1997) (fig. 1). In addition to the resident population in Florida, an estimated 41 million people visited 

the State in 1995 (Florida Department of Commerce, 

1996). Freshwater is vital for Florida’s permanent and 

seasonal residents and demands will continue to 

increase.

The agricultural sector in Florida also depends 

heavily on the State’s water resources. In 1995, Florida 

accounted for more than 80 percent of the total citrus 

produced in the United States. Florida’s agricultural 

production ranked among the top ten States in the 

Nation for 1995 (University of Florida, 1997) and 

should continue to flourish because of the subtropical 

climate and demands from the growing population. 

Information on the amount of water required to support 

future agricultural growth is needed.

To provide accurate statistics on water use and 

trends, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental 

Protection (FDEP) and the Northwest Florida, St. 

Johns River, South Florida, Southwest Florida, and 

Suwannee River Water Management Districts, estimate 

water use in Florida at 5-year intervals. Water-use estimates for 1995 are presented in this report. 

Purpose and Scope

This 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. Information concerning 

instream (nonwithdrawal) water use such as navigation, water-based recreation, propagation of fish and 

wildlife, and dilution and conveyance of liquid or 

solid waste is not included. 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 

(fig. 2) for each water use category. Information about 

specific public-supply water systems and domestic and 

industrial wastewater facilities is included in the 

appendixes (apps. 1 and 2). In prior years, this detailed 

information was presented in separate reports.

Previous Investigations

This report is the eighth in a series of reports documenting the results of water-use investigations in 

Florida. Statewide water-use data for Florida were published for 1965 and 1970 (Pride, 1973 and 1975); for 

1975, 1977, and 1980 (Leach, 1978, 1983; and Leach 

and Healy, 1980) and for 1985 and 1990 (Marella, 

1988, 1992). These reports included assessments of all 

water uses in Florida (including public-supply, domestic self-supplied, commercial-industrial self-supplied, 

agricultural irrigation and nonirrigation, and thermoelectric power generation water uses) by county. 

Prior to 1965, State water-use data were only 

published at the national level. Nationwide summaries 

of water-use data were published for 1950, 1955, and 

1960 (MacKichan, 1951, 1957; and MacKichan and 

Kammerer, 1961). These reports included detailed 

water-use data at the State level, but did not include 

water-use data for counties. 

Nationwide summaries, including data for Florida, were also published by the USGS for 1965, 1970, 

1975 (Murray, 1968; and Murray and Reeves, 1972, 

1977); for 1980, 1985, 1990, and for 1995 (Solley and 

others, 1983, 1988, 1993, 1998).

4 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

Additional water-use reports have been published by selected water management districts between 

1975 and 1995 (see selected water use bibliography). 

The St. Johns River and the Southwest Florida Water 

Management District have published annual water-use 

reports since 1977; the Northwest Florida, South Florida, and the Suwannee River Water Management Districts have intermittently published reports between 

1977 and 1985. Detailed water-use data for 1995 were 

published for the St. Johns River Water Management 

District (Florence and Moore, 1997) and the Southwest 

Florida Water Management District (1997). 

Data Sources and Limitations

As part of the USGS National Water-Use Information Program, water-use data are collected and compiled for each State every 5 years (Solley and others, 

1988). Data are reported for each State by water-use category, county, hydrologic unit (basin), and aquifer. For 

this report, Florida water-use data were compiled 

through an ongoing cooperative program with the FDEP, 

as part of the 1995 National Water-Use Information Program. Data were obtained from the FDEP (Drinking 

Water and Wastewater Sections), the Northwest Florida 

Water Management District (NWFWMD), the St. Johns 

River Water Management District (SJRWMD), the 

South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), 

the Southwest Florida Water Management District 

(SWFWMD), and the Suwannee River Water Management District (SRWMD), as well as from various utilities, industries, and power companies. Specific data 

sources for each category are listed below. 

Public supply.--Data for public-supply withdrawals were obtained from the FDEP’s Drinking 

Water Section (monthly operating reports), the five 

water management districts (consumptive water-use 

permit files or annual reports), or directly from the 

water supplier. All water use values for this category 

are from metered data. The population served value for 

each public supplier was selected by one of three 

sources: (1) estimated using the number of service connections multipled by the number people per household 

per county (Smith and Cody, 1996); (2) published population estimates for selected cities (University of Florida, 1996); or (3) estimates made by the individual 

public supplier that were reported to FDEP (Drinking 

Water Quick Look Report, Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection, written commun., April 

1995). Population served numbers in the Northwest 

Florida, the South Florida, and the Suwannee River 

Water Management Districts were estimated by the 

USGS. Estimates for population served in the St. Johns 

River and the Southwest Florida Water Management 

District were made by the respective districts (Florence 

and Moore, 1997; Southwest Florida Water Management District, 1997). 

Domestic self-supplied.--Domestic self-supplied populations are derived by subtracting the population served by public-supplied systems from the total 

county population. Domestic self-supplied withdrawals are calculated by multiplying the public-supply per 

capita use (in gallons per day) by the self-supplied population served for each county or were obtained from 

the water management districts. All water use values 

for this category are estimated. 

Commercial-industrial self-supplied.--

Data for commercial, industrial, and mining withdrawals were obtained from the FDEP’s Drinking Water 

Section (monthly operating reports), the five water 

management districts (consumptive water-use permit 

files or annual reports), or directly from the user. Most 

of the water use values for this category are from 

metered data. 

Agricultural self-supplied.--Water withdrawn for irrigation was estimated by the water management districts based on crop acreage, multiplied by 

a use coefficient (usually in inches per acre) generated 

from selected irrigation models for each crop. Only a 

small percentage of the water-use estimates for 1995 

were derived from actual metered data. 

Acreage data were obtained by the water management districts from a variety of sources including, 

(1) the University of Florida, Institute of Food and 

Agriculture Science (IFAS), County Extension Offices; 

(2) the water management districts’ consumptive 

water-use permit files; (3) the Florida Department of 

Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS); Agricultural Statistics Service, Citrus Summary, Field 

Crops Summary, and the Vegetable Summary (Florida 

Agricultural Statistics Service, 1996a; 1996b; 1996c); 

(4) the FDACS, Division of Plant Industry, Annual 

Report (Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, 1995); and (5) the U.S. Department of 

Agricultural, Natural Resources Conservation Service 

(NRCS), County Field Offices. The total number of 

acres for selected crops for each county was obtained 

using these sources, as well as the acreage that was irrigated and the method of irrigation. 
Introduction 5

The supplemental irrigation coefficient used to 

determine the amount of water needed per crop was 

obtained from several irrigation models and publications including (1) the modified Blaney-Criddle irrigation model; "Irrigation Water Requirements, 1970, 

revised" (U.S. Soil Conservation Service, 1970); (2) 

the University of Florida "AFSIRS" computer model 

(Smajstrla, 1986); and, (3) the "Florida Irrigation 

Guide" (U.S. Soil Conservation Service, 1982). These 

models or publications either use actual or long-term 

averages of rainfall, and temperature (Jones and others, 1984). Other sources of supplemental irrigation 

coefficients used for determining irrigation needs 

included actual metered data for selected crops, or 

those coefficients provided by agricultural authorities. 

 Supplemental irrigation application rates (in 

inches per acre) generated from these sources were multiplied by the number of irrigated acres to yield water 

use. From these values, estimates of the water sources 

(ground or surface) were made by local county extension 

personnel or by using information from the water management district’s consumptive water-use data base. 

Supplemental irrigation rates include the amount of 

water needed to grow each crop, and the amount of water 

necessary to overcome the inefficiency of the irrigation 

system and water used for frost and freeze protection.

Withdrawals were estimated for livestock and 

fish farming by multiplying the total number of cattle 

(including dairy cattle), chickens, horses, and swine for 

each county by a water-use coefficient per animal type. 

The number of animals per county was obtained from 

the FDACS, Agricultural Statistics Service, Livestock 

Summary (Florida Agricultural Statistics Service, 

1996d). Water-use coefficients were obtained from the 

University of Florida, IFAS (St. Johns River Water 

Management District, 1984). 

Estimates of the quantity of ground or surface 

water used were provided by local county extension 

personnel or were determined by using information 

from the water management district’s consumptive 

water-use data base. The quantity of water withdrawn 

for fish farming was obtained from the water management district's consumptive water-use permit files or 

was estimated based on a coefficient of 50 inches per 

pond acre. Pond acreage was obtained from the county 

extension office and the water management districts. 

Recreational irrigation.--Water withdrawal 

values for recreational irrigation were estimated based on 

irrigated acreage multiplied by a coefficient (usually in 

inches per acre) generated from selected irrigation models 

for turf grass. Only a small percentage of the water-use 

estimates for 1995 were derived from actual metered data. 

The total number of acres and acres irrigated 

were obtained by the water management districts from 

a variety of sources that included: (1) the University of 

Florida, IFAS, County Extension Offices; (2) the water 

management districts’ consumptive water-use permit 

files and needs and sources documents; and (3) the 

Florida Department of Commerce, Florida Sports 

Foundation (Florida Sports Foundation, 1994). 

The supplemental irrigation coefficient used to 

determine the amount of water needed was obtained 

from several irrigation models or publications including: (1) the modified Blaney-Criddle irrigation model, 

and Irrigation Water Requirements, 1970, revised (U.S. 

Soil Conservation Service, 1970); (2) the University of 

Florida AFSIRS computer model (Smajstrla, 1986); 

and (3) the Florida Irrigation Guide (U.S. Soil Conservation Service, 1982). Other sources of supplemental 

irrigation coefficients were derived from metered data 

or were provided by turf-grass authorities. 

Supplemental irrigation application rates (in 

inches per acre) generated from these sources were multiplied by the number of irrigated acres and a water-use 

value was calculated. From this value, estimates of the 

water sources (ground or surface) were provided by local 

county extension personnel or were made by using information from the water management districts. 

Power generation.--Data for power generation withdrawals were obtained from the water management districts (consumptive water-use permit files 

or annual reports), or directly from the power companies. Withdrawal data were collected for ground and 

surface waters, both fresh and saline sources. Information on the amount of water purchased from public supplies was obtained from each facility along with the 

total gross power generated. Most of the water-use values for this category are from metered data. 

Wastewater discharges.--Data for domestic 

and industrial wastewater discharges were obtained from 

the FDEP’s Domestic and Industrial Wastewater Sections (Domestic Plant Flows Report, GMS35, and Test 

Site History Report for Industrial, GMS36, Florida 

Department of Environmental Protection, written commun., May 1996), or directly from the monthly operating 

reports, the five water management districts (annual 

reuse reports), or directly from the discharge facilities. 

Most discharge values for this category are from metered 

data. The population served value for each domestic 

wastewater facility was selected by either: (1) published 

population estimates for selected areas (local comprehensive plans); or (2) estimates made by the individual 

discharge facility that were reported to FDEP (Outfall 
6 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

Detail Report, GMS05, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, written commun., March 1996). 

Water withdrawals and use data presented in this 

report represent the average daily quantities used, as 

derived from annual data, and are expressed in million 

gallons per day (Mgal/d). Water-use values presented in 

the tables in this report are reported to two places to the 

right of the decimal or to the nearest 10,000 gallons per 

day (gal/d). Water-use values in the text are rounded to 

the nearest million gallons per day, and percentages are 

rounded. Water-use data published in this report may not 

be identical to the water-use data published by the water 

management districts or FDEP because of differences in 

data-collection procedures, categories, and methodology.

The accuracy of these values varies from category 

to category. Public-supply values usually are more accurate because most public-supply systems meter their 

usage. Whereas agricultural self-supplied or domestic 

self-supplied values are most often estimated. However, a 

small percentage of the irrigation values (agricultural and 

recreational) for 1995 were obtained from metered data. 

Several changes in water-use categories have 

occured in Florida between 1970 and 1995. Most categories have remained the same since 1970, with the following exceptions. During the 1970’s, rural water use 

consisted of domestic self-supplied and livestock. In the 

1980’s, livestock was added to the agricultural, and 

domestic self-supplied became a separate category. In the 

past, agricultural water use has included all irrigation, in 

1995, recreational irrigation was removed from agricultural water use and placed within its own category. 

Agricultural self-supplied was called irrigation in the 

1970’s, then became agricultural irrigation in the 1980’s, 

with the addition of livestock and removal of recreation 

irrigation. Commercial-industrial self-supplied was once 

called industrial water use, and power generation was 

once called thermoelectric power generation. 

Miscellaneous water withdrawals and uses 

included in county totals presented in the 1985 water-use 

report (Marella, 1988) included water withdrawals for 

residential lawn irrigation, residential heat pumps and 

air-conditioning units, and water discharged through 

free-flowing wells. Because of the inconsistency in data 

from county to county for these uses, they were not 

included in the 1985 statewide totals (Marella, 1988). 

Since 1985, some data on residential lawn watering for 

several counties have been updated and are included in 

the recreational irrigation section of this report under turf 

grass. However, the 1990 and 1995 statewide data for 

water used by residential heat pumps and air conditioning units and water discharged through free-flowing 

wells remain inconsistent between counties and are not 

included in this report.

Water Withdrawals and Use 7

In 1995, the total amount of water withdrawn in 

Florida was estimated at 18,181 Mgal/d, of which 

60 percent was saline water and 40 percent was freshwater (fig. 3). Ground water accounted for nearly 

60 percent of freshwater withdrawals, and surface 

water accounted for the remaining 40 percent (table 1). 

Almost all (99.9 percent) saline water withdrawals 

were from surface water (table 1), which was used for 

once-through cooling at 22 power generating plants. 

The saline water was withdrawn from bays or rivers 

along the coast, and then returned to these sources. 

Florida was the largest user of saline water in the 

Nation in 1995 (Solley and others, 1998). 

The amount of freshwater withdrawn monthly 

fluctuates because of variations in temperature, precipitation (rainfall), crop production, and tourism. About 

one-half (49 percent) of the freshwater withdrawal in 

1995 occurred between April and August (fig. 4). This 

seasonal variation in withdrawals is normal in Florida.

Public supply (43 percent) and agricultural selfsupplied (35 percent) were the largest users of ground 

water in 1995, followed by commercial-industrial selfsupplied (including mining) (10 percent), domestic 

self-supplied (7 percent), recreational irrigation 

(4.5 percent), and power generation (0.5 percent) 

(fig. 5 and table 1). Agricultural self-supplied (60 percent) was the largest user of fresh surface water in 

1995, followed by power generation (21 percent), 

commercial-industrial self-supplied (9 percent), public 

supply (7 percent), and recreational irrigation 

(3 percent) (fig. 5). Overall, agricultural self-supplied 

accounted for 45 percent of the total freshwater withdrawn (ground and surface). Power generation 

accounted for nearly all (99.9 percent) of saline water 

withdrawn. 

The largest amount of freshwater was withdrawn 

in Palm Beach County, and the largest amount of saline 

water was withdrawn in Hillsborough County (table 2). 

Significant withdrawals (more than 200 Mgal/d) of fresh 

ground water occurred in Dade, Broward, Polk, Orange, 

and Palm Beach Counties. Significant withdrawals 

(more than 200 Mgal/d) of fresh surface water occurred 

in Palm Beach, Hendry, and St. Lucie Counties.

10 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

Water Source and Use Category

Ground water was the source of drinking water for 

13.11 million people (93 percent) in Florida during 

1995. Florida, the largest user of ground water east of the 

Mississippi River, ranked fifth in the Nation in groundwater withdrawals (Solley and others, 1998). Ground 

water is available throughout the State, and generally 

needs little or no treatment before use. About 57 percent 

of the ground water withdrawn was obtained from the 

Floridan aquifer system, which underlies most of the 

State (fig. 6). Polk, Orange, Hillsborough, Duval and 

Pasco Counties were the largest users of water from the 

Floridan aquifer system (table 3). Florida accounted for 

about 78 percent of Floridan aquifer system withdrawals 

in the southeastern United States (USGS, unpublished 

data, 1997). The Biscayne aquifer was the source for 

about 20 percent of ground water, whereas the remaining 

23 percent was obtained from the unnamed surficial 

aquifers, the intermediate aquifer, and the sand-andgravel aquifer (fig. 6 and table 3). Surficial aquifers are 

primarily used for household wells (domestic self-supplied) or in places where the Floridan aquifer system is 

nonpotable or too deep to be used economically.

12 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

Florida ranked thirtieth in the Nation in fresh surface-water withdrawals in 1995 (Solley and others, 

1998). The primary users of surface water throughout 

Florida are irrigators and power plants, who used about 

81 percent of the fresh water. The majority of fresh surface water used is in the Southern Florida subregion 

(fig. 7) and is associated with Lake Okeechobee and 

the Everglades Agricultural Area of Glades, Hendry, 

and Palm Beach Counties (fig. 2). This area is intensively irrigated (sugarcane and vegetables) and 

accounted for nearly 60 percent of the surface-water 

withdrawals during 1995.

Most of the surface water used in Florida comes 

from managed and maintained canal systems or large 

water bodies. Major sources of fresh surface water for 

irrigation include Lake Okeechobee and associated 

canals (Glades, Hendry, Martin, Palm Beach, and St. 

Lucie Counties), Lake Apopka (Lake and Orange 

Counties), the Caloosahatchee River (Glades, Hendry, 

and Lee Counties), and the headwaters of the St. Johns 

River (Brevard and Indian River Counties). Surface 

water from these sources is diverted through canals or 

ditches, then pumped or gravity-fed onto fields or 

groves. A large percentage of the water that is flooded

onto fields or groves is unused and pumped back into 

the canals or ditches for further use. Throughout the 

rest of Florida, surface water for irrigation is obtained 

from local canals, ditches, lakes, ponds, small rivers, 

creeks, or tributaries. Many of the canals, ditches, or 

ponds that are used for irrigation are augmented with 

ground water. 

Public Supply

The public-supply category refers to water distributed by a publicly- or privately-owned community 

water system to the public. A total of 2,141 community 

water systems in Florida met this criteria in April 1995 

(Kenna Study, Florida Department of Environmental 

Protection, oral commun., 1998, and Drinking Water 

Quick Look Report, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, written commun., April 1995). For 

this report, water-use data were collected for 1,101 systems that either served 400 people or more, or withdrew 10,000 gal/d (0.01 Mgal/d) or more. Water 

withdrawals from the inventoried systems totaled 

2,065 Mgal/d and accounted for an estimated 99.6 percent of total public supply withdrawals in 1995. Water 

withdrawn by the uninventoried systems totaled about 

9 Mgal/d (1,040 systems multiplied by 0.009 Mgal/d) 

or 0.4 percent of the total and are included in the 

domestic self-supplied category. 

Water withdrawals for public supply in Florida in 

1995 totaled 2,065 Mgal/d, of which 90 percent was 

obtained from ground water and 10 percent from surface water (table 4). More than 12.21 million (86 percent) of the State’s residents obtained their drinking 

water from a public-supply water system (table 4). Of 

those residents using public-supply drinking water, 

11.17 million (91 percent) used ground water, and the 

remaining 1.04 million (9 percent) relied on surface 

water. 

Florida ranked second in the Nation to California 

(Solley and others, 1998) in ground-water withdrawals 

for public supply. The Floridan aquifer system supplied 

nearly 50 percent of the total public-supply withdrawals, 

followed by the Biscayne aquifer (35 percent) (fig. 8). 

The Hillsborough River and Tampa Bypass 

Canal in Hillsborough County supplied 30 percent of 

the total surface-water for public supply. Deer Point 

Lake in Bay County supplied 21 percent (app. 1). Other 

significant surface-water sources of public supply 

water include the Braden and Manatee Rivers in Manatee County, Clear Lake in Palm Beach County, Lake 

Washington in Brevard County, and the Peace River 

and Shell Creek in Charlotte and De Soto Counties 

(app. 1). Several of the public-supply water systems 

that use surface water also augment their water supply 

with ground water.

Public-supply withdrawals in 1995 were smallest in February and largest in May (fig. 9). Seasonal 

differences in residential demands are caused by variations in temperature, precipitation, and tourism.

Water Withdrawals and Use 15

Public suppliers provide water (deliveries) for 

domestic (residential), commercial, industrial, public, 

and other uses (see glossary). The public use category 

includes firefighting, system maintenance, and water 

that is lost to leakage or processing (for desalination or 

lime-softening). Domestic water use, which includes 

indoor and outdoor residential uses, accounted for 

61 percent of the public-supply withdrawals (fig. 10 

and table 5). Domestic use was derived from the residual of the total public-supply net water use in each 

county minus the commercial, industrial, public, and 

other uses. Commercial (19 percent) and industrial 

(5 percent) water deliveries were estimated by multiplying county employment totals (U.S. Bureau of Census, 1996) by a water use coefficient based on average 

water use per employee (Davis and others, 1988) for 

various commercial and industrial employment sectors 

(Bucca and Marella, 1992). In this study, the percentage of public-supplied water provided for public uses 

(including losses) in the southeastern United States 

(14 percent) and the percent of water provided for other 

uses (irrigation and power generation) in the southeastern United States (1 percent) were used (American 

Water Works Association, 1992). Some specific data 

for water losses was provided directly from the individual users, estimated from data provided by the water 

management districts, or obtained from the FDEP’s 

monthly operating reports. Estimates of the use or 

deliveries of public-supply water for each county in 

Florida are presented in table 5. 

The statewide public-supply per capita use for 

Florida was 169 gal/d. This value is the total public-supply water withdrawn (2,065 Mgal/d) divided by the total 

population served by public supply (12.21 million). Per 

capita use computed in this manner includes water delivered for residential, commercial, industrial, public and 

other uses (table 5). The public-supply per capita use has 

remained fairly constant since 1970 with the exception 

of 1980 (fig. 11), when a statewide drought affected 

water usage for most of the year. The statewide publicsupply per capita use was slightly lower than the 1995 

national average of 179 gal/d (Solley and others, 1998).

 The per capita use for domestic (residential) 

deliveries in Florida has been decreasing since the 

average of 144 gal/d in 1980, primarily as a result of (1) 

conservation efforts and the use of more efficient water 

fixtures; (2) the use of reclaimed wastewater as a 

source of water for lawn irrigation; (3) the use of 

xeriscape landscaping; and (4) a change in the way 

domestic water use was derived between 1980 and 

1990. Florida’s average for domestic (residential) per 

capita use of 103 gal/d (table 5) in 1995 is slightly 

higher than the national average of 101 gal/d (Solley 

and others, 1998). 

The largest water withdrawals for public supply 

were in Dade and Broward Counties (table 4). The 

Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Authority in Dade 

County is the single largest water supplier in the State; 

it withdrew 341 Mgal/d of ground water and served 

1.7 million people in 1995 (app. 1). Dade County's 

water withdrawals also included water supplied 

(exported) to neighboring Monroe County (14 Mgal/d)

Water Withdrawals and Use 17

for public supply throughout the Florida Keys. Significant withdrawals (more than 100 Mgal/d) of publicsupply water were in Broward, Palm Beach, Orange, 

Hillsborough, and Pinellas Counties (table 4). Several 

counties rely on water imported from other counties, as 

more than 138 Mgal/d of public-supplied water was 

withdrawn in one county for use in another county 

(table 4). 

Water withdrawals for public supply in Florida 

have increased steadily since water-use data were first 

collected. Total public-supply withdrawals increased 

1,100 percent between 1950 and 1995 (fig. 12). Over 

this same period, the population of Florida increased 

410 percent, from 2.77 million in 1950 (Dietrich, 1978) 

to 14.15 million in 1995 (University of Florida, 1996). 

In addition to the increase in the State’s total population, the percentage of the population that rely on public supply for drinking water increased. In 1950, about 

60 percent of the State’s population was served by a 

public supplier; this percentage increased to 86 percent 

in 1985 (Marella, 1995) and has remained about the 

same between 1985 and 1995. Public-supply withdrawals increased 134 percent between 1970 and 1995, 

and 7 percent between 1990 and 1995.

The use of nonpotable water (brackish water) for 

public supply has increased steadily in Florida since 

1985 (Dykes and Conlon, 1989; Marella, 1995). In 

1995, about 58 Mgal/d of ground water containing less 

than 1,000 mg/L of dissolved solids was treated using 

desalination techniques (see glossary) or diluted with 

freshwater to meet the FDEP drinking-water standards 

for potable water (less than 500 mg/L of dissolved solids). The use of desalination or dilution for public supply was documented in eight counties (Charlotte, 

Collier, Indian River, Lee, Martin, Palm Beach, St. 

Lucie, and Sarasota) (table 4). This nonpotable water is 

included in the freshwater category for this report, as 

all water withdrawn for public supply in 1995 was 

freshwater.

Domestic Self-Supplied

The domestic self-supplied category consist of 

nonpermitted small potable water users. These include 

water withdrawn by individual households (domestic 

wells), by small non-community and non-transient 

non-community water systems such as churches, convenience stores, and restaurants that are not served by 

a public-water supplier and are too small (less than 

0.01 Mgal/d) to be inventoried under commercialindustrial self-supplied, and by the 1,040 small publicsupply systems (serving fewer than 400 residents or 

with a daily average pumpage of less than 0.01 Mgal/d) 

not inventoried under public supply. 

Of the 297 Mgal/d withdrawn for domestic selfsupplied use, 82 percent (244 Mgal/d) was from 

domestic wells, 15 percent (44 Mgal/d) from the 4,922 

non-community and non-transient non-community 

water systems (Kenna Study, Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection, oral commun., 1998) (4,922 

systems multiplied by 0.009 Mgal/d), and 3 percent 

(9 Mgal/d) from the 1,040 small public supply systems 

not inventoried. Withdrawals of more than 10 Mgal/d 

for domestic self-supplied use in 1995 occurred in Marion, Palm Beach, Orange, Hillsborough, Dade, and 

Duval Counties (table 6). It is assumed that water withdrawals for this category were derived exclusively 

from ground water because of its good quality and its 

widespread availability. About 52 percent of the 

domestic self-supplied water was obtained from the 

Floridan aquifer system (fig. 13); the remaining 

48 percent was obtained from local water table or shallow aquifers (Biscayne, intermediate, sand-and-gravel, 

and the unnamed surficial aquifers). In many areas of 

Florida, the shallow aquifers yield sufficient water for 

domestic purposes.

1Number of household data for 1995 is unavilable. Estimate for 1995 is 867,600 based on a 9 percent increase of the population growth (University of Florida, 1996). Individual county growth rates will vary.
Water Withdrawals and Use 19

In 1995, an estimated 1.94 million people in 

Florida were classified as domestic self-supplied 

(table 6). Of these, about 97 percent used domestic 

wells and 3 percent were served by the uninventoried 

small public-supply water systems. The non-community and non-transient non-community water systems 

do not serve a permanent population. 

According to the U.S. Bureau of Census (1993), an 

estimated 795,560 households in Florida used an individual well as their primary source of drinking water in 1990 

(data for 1995 are unavailable) (table 6). The number of 

households in 1995 with domestic wells was estimated at 

867,600 and was based on increasing the 1990 statewide 

estimate by the rate of population growth in Florida 

(9 percent) between 1990 and 1995 (University of 

Florida, 1996). Based on the estimated number of domestic wells for 1995 and the amount of water used by those 

households for 1995, the average use per well would be 

slightly more than 280 gal/d. Many additional households in Florida have individual wells for irrigation purposes only, and these are not included in this category.

 Withdrawals for domestic self-supplied use in 

Florida increased 42 percent between 1970 and 1995 

(fig. 14), with a 40 percent increase in the self-supplied 

population during this time. In 1970, an estimated 

statewide per capita use figure of 120 gal/d was used to 

estimate withdrawals for all counties. However, since 

1980, countywide per capita use rates were used for 

each county based on total public-supply per capita 

use. In 1995, a combination of estimates and report 

data were used to estimate domestic self-supplied use. 

Between 1990 and 1995, domestic self-supplied 

withdrawals stayed nearly the same as did the percent 

of the State’s population that was self-supplied, despite 

the estimated increase in the number of domestic wells.

Commercial-Industrial Self-Supplied

Commercial-industrial self-supplied use is water 

withdrawn at commercial and industrial facilities. Commercial users include government and military facilities, schools, prisons, hospitals, recreational, and nonmanufacturing facilities. Industrial users include mining, processing, and manufacturing facilities. Data were 

obtained for those systems having withdrawals of more 

than 0.01 Mgal/d; water used by the smaller commercial-industrial (non-community and non-transient noncommunity) water systems is accounted for under 

domestic self-supplied. In 1995, there were 174 selfsupplied commercial users and 278 self-supplied industrial users (including mines) inventoried in Florida. 

Total freshwater withdrawals by commercialindustrial self-supplied systems in 1995 was 

692 Mgal/d, of which 63 percent was ground water and 

37 percent was surface water (table 7). The Floridan 

aquifer system supplied 79 percent of ground water 

withdrawals for this category in (fig. 15). Major surfacewater sources for commercial-industrial self-supplied 

use include Etonia and Simms Creeks in Putnam County 

(13 percent), the Gulf County Canal in Gulf County 

(11 percent), and the Escambia River in Escambia 

County (9 percent). However, a large amount of surface 

water used for this category was withdrawn from mining 

pits or ponds for dewatering and mining operations.

Water Withdrawals and Use 21

Monthly withdrawals for commercial-industrial 

self-supplied systems fluctuated less than 100 Mgal/d 

during 1995 (fig. 16). Withdrawals were highest January through May, primarily because of increased water 

demand when citrus and vegetables are harvested and 

processed; withdrawals for mining and pulp and paper 

remained steady throughout the year. Withdrawals during December were low because of reduced activity 

during the holidays at several large processing plants.

Withdrawals by industrial facilities accounted 

for 93 percent and commercial accounted for 7 percent 

of the freshwater withdrawals. Mining accounted for 

the largest amount of water used in this category (43 

percent) followed by pulp and paper manufacturing 

(27 percent) (fig. 17). Of the water withdrawn from the 

98 inventoried mining facilities, 61 percent 

(182 Mgal/d) was for mining limestone and sand, 

37 percent (109 Mgal/d) for phosphate mining, and 

2 percent (5 Mgal/d) for mineral mining. Mining operations are located throughout Florida, but are most concentrated in the central part of the State. Water 

withdrawn in the mining industry is used primarily for 

material washing and conveyance, but includes water 

pumped to dewater the area being mined. The pulp and 

paper industry is located in the heavily forested areas of 

northern and western Florida. 

The largest amount of freshwater withdrawn for 

commercial-industrial self-supplied purposes was in 

Polk County, followed by Escambia, and Sumter Counties (table 7). These three counties accounted for 

30 percent of the water withdrawn in this category 

during 1995.

Freshwater withdrawn for commercial-industrial 

self-supplied use in Florida decreased 23 percent 

between 1970 and 1995 (fig. 18). During this time 

period, deliveries to commercial and industrial users 

from public-supply systems increased from 162 Mgal/d 

(Pride, 1973) to 489 Mgal/d (table 5), about 

200 percent. The increase in deliveries and the 

decrease in withdrawals indicate that most new commercial or industrial users obtained water from a public-supply water system and those self-supplied users

are either converting to public supply or have become 

more water efficient. The conversion to public supply 

occurred because of increasing cost of producing potable water and treating wastewater. This has forced 

many industries that were once self-supplied to receive 

and discharge water from a public supplier and to 

become more water efficient and reduce discharge volumes. Between 1990 and 1995, freshwater withdrawals 

for this category decreased 10 percent. 

Agricultural Self-Supplied (Irrigation and 

Nonirrigation)

Agricultural self-supplied use consists of water 

withdrawn for the irrigation of crops and for nonirrigation uses associated with farming operations. Irrigation 

includes the application of water on lands to assist in 

the growing of crops or to prevent damage to crops due 

to harsh climatic conditions. Nonirrigation uses include 

water withdrawn for livestock watering (washing dairy 

and farm equipment), fish farming (augmenting 

ponds), and other uses. The agricultural self-supplied 

category no longer includes water withdrawals for 

irrigation of turf grasses (golf courses and urban landscape), which is now included in the category of recreational irrigation. 

Agricultural self-supplied was the largest user of 

freshwater in Florida, accounting for 45 percent of the 

State’s total freshwater withdrawn in 1995. Water withdrawals totaled 3,244 Mgal/d, of which 53 percent was 

surface water and 47 percent was ground water 

(table 8). Even though Florida ranked thirteenth in the 

Nation for irrigation and nonirrigation withdrawals, it 

had the largest withdrawals of any State east of the 

Mississippi River (Solley and others, 1998). All water 

withdrawn for irrigation in Florida was assumed to be 

freshwater. 

The Floridan aquifer system supplied 64 percent 

of the ground water withdrawn for agricultural selfsupplied use in 1995 (fig. 19). Major sources of surface 

water for irrigation purposes include Lake Okeechobee 

and associated canals (Glades, Hendry, Martin, Palm 

Beach, and St. Lucie Counties), and the marshlands 

associated with the headwaters of the St. Johns River 

(Brevard, Indian River and Okeechobee Counties). 

South Florida is intensively irrigated for sugarcane, citrus, and vegetables, and accounted for more than 

70 percent of the State's surface-water withdrawals.

Monthly withdrawals for agricultural self-supplied use had the largest seasonal variation of any 

water-use category. Irrigation withdrawals followed a 

normal seasonal pattern: they were greatest in April, 

May, and June (accounting for 36 percent of the water

used) and were at a seasonal low in January (fig. 20). A 

seasonal fluctuation of more than 3,000 Mgal/d was the 

result of intense crop production, dry conditions during 

the early spring, and a relatively dormant period during 

late fall and early winter. 

Agricultural irrigation data were compiled for 

four crop categories: vegetable, fruit, field, and ornamentals and grasses. Within these 4 categories, acreage 

and irrigation water uses were tabulated for 28 specific 

crops and 3 miscellaneous crops (table 9). More than 

half (53 percent) of the 3,698,300 agricultural acres 

farmed in Florida was irrigated. Excluding improved 

pasture acreage, more than 85 percent of the acreage 

farmed was irrigated. 

Of the four major crop types, fruit was the largest 

user of water for irrigation (fig. 21), accounting for 

45 percent of the agricultural water withdrawn. Within 

fruit crops, citrus accounted for 93 percent of the irrigated 

acreage and 95 percent of the water withdrawn. Nearly 

98 percent of the 830,100 acres of citrus were irrigated 

(table 9). Field crops, which include sugarcane, were the 

second largest user of water, accounting for 29 percent. 

All of the 417,000 acres of sugarcane were irrigated. 

Most of the crop acreage was irrigated by flood 

or subsurface systems (52 percent), and the remaining 

acreage was irrigated by micro-irrigation systems 

(30 percent), or sprinkler systems (18 percent) 

(table 9). This reflects an increase in micro-irrigation 

system usage from 1985, and a proportionate decrease 

in the use of flood or subsurface systems and sprinkler 

systems. In 1985, flood or subsurface accounted for 

58 percent, micro-irrigation for 16 percent, and sprinkler for 26 percent (Marella, 1988). The increase in 

micro-irrigation system usage is particularly significant for citrus farming, as nearly all of the newly 

replanted citrus acreage is being irrigated by micro-irrigation systems, and large amounts of older acreage is 

being converted. These more efficient micro-irrigation 

systems use much less water than sprinklers and flood 

systems, and as a result, water withdrawn for citrus irrigation increased only 9 percent between 1990 and 1995 

whereas irrigated citrus acreage increased 17 percent. 

 Total irrigated acreage increased by 25 percent 

between 1970 and 1995 despite crop loss to freezes, disease, insect infestation, and encroaching urbanization in 

agricultural areas. Although citrus acreage has decreased 

nearly 91,000 acres between 1970 and 1995 (fig. 22), 

actual irrigated acreage increased 196,000 acres. Sugar

cane acreage increased by 245,000 acres between 1970 

and 1995 (Florida Department of Agricultural and Consumer Services, 1996b) while vegetable acreage decreased 

about 20,000 acres during this time period (fig. 22). 

 Palm Beach, Hendry, and St. Lucie Counties 

accounted for more than 45 percent of the total water 

withdrawn for agricultural self-supplied use (table 8). 

Palm Beach County was the largest user of surface 

water, and Hendry County used the most ground water. 

Water withdrawn for agricultural self-supplied 

use increased 54 percent between 1970 and 1995; 

however, withdrawals for agricultural self-supplied 

decreased 7 percent between 1990 and 1995 (fig. 23). 

This recent trend can be attributed to: (1) the use of 

more efficient irrigation systems; (2) the use of alternative water sources; (3) a higher than normal use in 1990 

caused by low rainfall amounts and extremely dry conditions; and (4) more metered data being used for 

water-use estimates for agricultural irrigation in 1995 

than in 1990. 

In addition to conservation, the use of reclaimed 

wastewater, captured rainfall, and unused irrigation water 

(tailwater runoff) as alternative water sources has helped 

offset additional freshwater demands on ground- and surface-water sources from 1990 to 1995. Nearly 80 Mgal/d 

of reclaimed wastewater was used for agricultural irrigation and nonirrigation purposes in 1995 (table 9). 

Recreational Irrigation

Recreational irrigation includes the application 

of water on lands to assist in the growing of turf grass 

and landscape vegetation for lawns or recreation purposes and also includes water used for aesthetic purposes. Turf grass recreation is categorized as the 

irrigation of golf courses (including all grass and landscape associated with golf courses), and turf grass 

lawns is categorized as the irrigation of all grass and 

landscape associated with athletic fields, cemeteries, 

common public or highway areas, parks, playgrounds, 

and lawns (primarily nonresidential, but does include 

some residential). Aesthetic uses include water used to 

fill or maintain nonagricultural ponds. Recreational 

irrigation is a new category in the 1995 compilation; 

however, these data have been collected since 1985 and 

were included under the agricultural irrigation category 

for 1985 and 1990. Water used for recreational irrigation may be obtained from a public water supplier, 

reclaimed wastewater, or self-supplied. Acreage and 

water use values reported in this section are for 

reclaimed wastewater or self-supplied uses only.

 Approximately 281 Mgal/d of freshwater was 

withdrawn (table 10) for recreational irrigation purposes 

in 1995, with an additional 154 Mgal/d obtained from 

reclaimed wastewater (table 9). Nearly 70 percent was 

from ground water and the remaining 30 percent was 

from surface water. The Floridan aquifer system supplied 37 percent and the Biscayne aquifer supplied 31 

percent of the ground-water withdrawals for this purpose 

(fig. 24). Ponds, lakes and canals are the major source of 

surface water for irrigation purposes, and for most

28 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

golf courses are usually manmade and designed to 

catch unused irrigation water and rainfall runoff as well 

as to provide aesthetic value to the golf course. Often, 

these ponds or lakes are augmented with ground water 

or reclaimed wastewater to maintain water levels and 

provide storage for irrigation supplies.

Monthly withdrawals for recreational irrigation 

had a large seasonal variation. Irrigation withdrawals in 

1995 were greatest in April through August during 

drier conditions, and lowest in January, February, and 

December during the dormant period (fig. 25). Nearly 

40 percent of the water withdrawn for recreational 

irrigation was in Palm Beach and Broward Counties 

(table 10). Pinellas County is the largest user of 

reclaimed wastewater (40 Mgal/d) for recreational 

irrigation. 

 Golf course irrigation was the largest user of 

water in this category, accounting for 67 percent of the 

water withdrawn and 64 percent of the reclaimed 

wastewater used. Of the nearly 131,000 acres irrigated 

for recreational purposes, 75 percent was for golf 

courses and the remaining was for other turf grass or 

landscape uses (table 9). In 1995, more than 1,100 golf 

courses were located in Florida (Florida Sports Foundation, 1994), covering an estimated 150,500 acres, of 

which 65 percent was irrigated. This is an increase of 

about 33 percent from the 74,000 acres of irrigated golf 

course in 1985 (Marella, 1988). Based on an average of 

20 holes per golf course (Hodges and others, 1994), the 

estimated acres per hole for 1995 is nearly 7, of which 

about 4.5 acres was irrigated.

Water withdrawals for recreational irrigation 

increased 54 percent between 1985 and 1995, but 

decreased 9 percent between 1990 and 1995 (fig. 26). 

This decrease between 1990 and 1995 can be attributed 

to: (1) a higher than normal use in 1990 caused by low 

rainfall amounts and extremely dry conditions; (2) golf 

courses converting to reclaimed water as their primary 

source of irrigation water after 1990; and (3) more 

metered data being used for water-use estimates for 

golf-course irrigation in 1995 than in 1990. 

Power Generation 

Power generation use includes water withdrawn 

at thermoelectric power generation facilities (fossil fuel 

or nuclear) and water used at hydroelectric facilities. A 

total of 54 thermoelectric and 2 hydroelectric power 

generating facilities were inventoried for 1995. Of the 

54 thermoelectric plants, 2 plants were under construction, and 4 were on standby use only (used only during 

extreme peak demands times or while primary plants 

are down due for maintenance). Small private secondary power generating facilities are not included in these 

estimates. 

Nearly 11,596 Mgal/d of water was withdrawn 

for power generation purposes in 1995, of which 

95 percent was saline and 5 percent was freshwater 

(table 11). Of the total freshwater withdrawn, 97 percent was surface water and 3 percent was ground water. 

Nearly all (99.5 percent) of the total water withdrawn 

(fresh and saline) for power generation is used for once 

through cooling, and is returned to its source immediately after its use.

30 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

The Floridan aquifer system was the source of 

75 percent (16 Mgal/d) of fresh ground-water withdrawals for power generation in 1995. Most of the surface water was withdrawn from bays or rivers along the 

coast, and most was returned to these sources. Major 

surface water sources included the Caloosahatchee 

River (Lee County), Crystal River and the Gulf of 

Mexico (Citrus County), Indian River (Brevard, Indian 

River, and St. Lucie Counties), St. Johns River (Duval 

County), and Tampa Bay (Hillsborough and Pinellas 

County). Although several of these rivers are freshwater, the point of power plant withdrawal is often tidally 

influenced, and the water may be fresh, brackish, or 

saline due to tidal flows (McPherson and Hammett, 

1991). The water withdrawn and reported herein is 

considered saline at these plants. 

Monthly freshwater withdrawals for power generation fluctuated substantially during 1995—highest 

withdrawals occurred from May through August, as 

power demands increase due to hotter weather (fig. 27).

Public-supply deliveries to thermoelectric power 

plants used for domestic purposes or as boiler make-up 

water totaled nearly 5 Mgal/d (Solley and others, 1998). 

Additionally, 5 Mgal/d of reclaimed wastewater was 

used directly for cooling purposes; however, a much 

larger amount of cooling water was obtained from lakes 

or ponds supplemented by reclaimed wastewater. 

The largest amount of freshwater withdrawn 

was in Escambia County, and the largest amount of 

saline water withdrawn was in Hillsborough County 

(table 11). Several power plants in Duval, Hillsborough, Indian River, Orange, Osceola and Polk Counties 

used reclaimed wastewater to augment cooling water. 

The State’s two hydroelectric plants in Gadsden and 

Leon Counties used 8,455 Mgal/d (water flowing 

through the turbine) to generate power. 

 Total water withdrawals for power generation 

increased steadily between 1955 and 1980, when withdrawals peaked at 15,500 Mgal/d (fig. 28). Between 

1970 and 1995, saline water withdrawals for power 

generation increased 15 percent whereas freshwater 

withdrawals decreased 58 percent. Between 1990 and 

1995, saline water withdrawals increased 7 percent, 

whereas freshwater withdrawals decreased 19 percent. 

The reduction in freshwater withdrawals was due to the 

increase in water efficiency of new or modernized 

facilities, and in part to increased recycling of cooling 

water after routing the water to cooling ponds or cooling towers, or the reclassification of a plants water 

source from freshwater to saline water. Water withdrawals at many plants during the 1990’s are made now 

only to augment or replenish the water in the cooling 

ponds. Because of these factors, total gross power generated in Florida increased 160 percent, whereas water 

withdrawals increased 5 percent between 1970 and 

1995. Furthermore, differences between years could 

have occurred due to facility downtime caused by plant 

maintenance or modernization. Significant down time 

can substantially reduce the annual average water withdrawn at power plant, and is particularly evident when 

data are collected only every 5 years.

Water Management District

The Florida Water Resource Act of 1972 established authority for management of the State’s water 

resources through five water management districts that 

operate under the general supervision of the Florida 

Department of Environmental Protection (formerly the 

Florida Department of Natural Resources) (Fernald and 

Patton, 1984). These five water management districts, 

which encompass the entire State, are the Northwest 

Florida, the St. Johns River, the South Florida, the 

Southwest Florida, and the Suwannee River (fig. 2). 

The population of Florida in 1995 was 14.15 million (University of Florida, 1996), of which 40 percent 

(5.66 million) lived in the SFWMD, followed by the 

SWFWMD at 25.5 percent (3.61 million), the SJRWMD at 25 percent (3.51 million), the NWFWMD at 

8 percent (1.13 million), and the SRWMD at 1.5 percent (0.25 million) (fig. 29). The SFWMD included the 

largest number of residents served by public-supply 

water systems (5.23 million) in 1995 (fig. 29).

The largest amount of freshwater withdrawn was 

from the SFWMD, which was nearly one-half 

(49.5 percent) of the State’s total freshwater withdrawn 

in (fig. 30 and table 12). The percentage of the total 

freshwater withdrawn in the other water management 

districts were: SWFWMD, 19 percent; SJRWMD, 

18 percent; NWFWMD, 9 percent; and SRWMD, 

4.5 percent. The SFWMD accounted for the largest 

amount of freshwater withdrawn for public supply 

(47 percent), agricultural self-supplied use (68 percent), 

and recreational irrigation (67 percent). The SWFWMD 

accounted for the largest amount of freshwater withdrawn for commercial-industrial self-supplied use 

(34 percent); the SJRWMD accounted for the largest 

amount of freshwater withdrawn for domestic selfsupplied (32 percent); and the NWFWMD accounted for 

the largest amount of freshwater withdrawn for power 

generation (45 percent) (table 12). The largest amount 

(51 percent) of saline water withdrawn was from the 

SWFWMD and was used for cooling purposes at several 

power generation facilities located along Tampa Bay or 

the Gulf of Mexico (fig. 31 and table 12). 

Freshwater withdrawals in all but the SFWMD 

have remained about the same or decreased slightly 

between 1975 and 1995 (fig. 32). However, as a 

result of increases in irrigated acreage and population, freshwater withdrawals in the SFWMD 

increased between 1985 and 1995. Since 1975, fresh 

ground-water withdrawals increased in all but the 

SWFWMD (fig.33), and fresh surface-water withdrawals decreased in all but the SFWMD (fig. 34).

34 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

 

 In 1995, approximately 39 percent (table 13) of 

the freshwater withdrawn in Florida was consumed 

(evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or 

crops, or otherwise removed from the immediate water 

environment) and the remaining 61 percent was 

returned to the hydrologic system as wastewater. However, less than 0.1 percent (5 Mgal/d) of the saline 

water was consumed. The greatest consumption of 

freshwater in Florida occurred in agricultural selfsupplied (irrigation and nonirrigation) and recreational 

irrigation uses due to vast acreage being irrigated 

during hot, dry periods when evapotranspiration was 

highest. Water consumed ranges from 80 percent for 

recreational irrigation to 9 percent for power generation (freshwater only) (fig. 35 and table 13). Nearly all 

(99.5 percent) of the total water withdrawn for power 

generation (fresh and saline) was returned to its source. 

The estimated percentage of freshwater consumed 

varied during the past 20 years. In 1975, 33 percent 

of the water withdrawn was consumed (Leach, 1978); 

in 1985, 43 percent was consumed (Marella, 1988); in 

1990, 42 percent was consumed (Solley and others, 

1993). All consumption values are estimated from irrigation coefficents, industry standards, or published 

sources. 

Wastewater included water that was discharged 

from treatment facilities, septic tanks, or runoff from 

agricultural or urban lands. Discharge data for domestic (municipal) and industrial facilities are usually regulated and metered, whereas records of the amount of 

water released from septic tanks or that runs off agricultural or urban lands are usually not available. For 

this report, wastewater values were reported for domestic and industrial discharges only. Total wastewater 

discharged from the 615 treatment facilities inventoried in 1995 (systems that discharged 0.10 Mgal/d or 

more) totaled 1,836 Mgal/d, of which 84 percent was 

from domestic wastewater facilities and 16 percent was 

from industrial facilities (table 14). 

Domestic Wastewater

Domestic wastewater facilities (including 

municipal) are those systems that receive or dispose of 

wastewater derived principally from residential dwellings, businesses or commercial establishments, institutions and some industrial facilities (Florida Department 

of Environmental Regulation, 1991). According to the 

FDEP, there were 3,034 domestic wastewater systems 

in operation during 1995 (Richard Addison, written 

commun.,1996).

For this report, domestic wastewater discharge 

data was collected for 561 systems that discharged 

0.10 Mgal/d or more. Discharge from the inventoried 

systems totaled more than 1,544 Mgal/d and accounted 

for 98.5 percent of the total domestic wastewater discharge. Discharge from the 2,473 uninventoried systems 

was estimated at 22 Mgal/d (2,473 systems multiplied by 

0.009 Mgal/d) or 1.5 percent of the total discharge.

36 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

Of the domestic wastewater discharged from the inventoried systems, 53 percent was discharged to surface 

water, 24 percent was discharged to deep aquifers 

through injection wells, and 23 percent was discharged 

to the ground through drain fields, percolation ponds, 

spray fields, and land application systems (including 

reuse systems) (fig. 36). 

The estimated population served by the inventoried systems in 1995 was 9.47 million (table 14), and the 

population served by the uninventoried systems was 

estimated at about 0.82 million for a total of 73 percent 

(10.29 million) of the State’s population. The remaining 

3.86 million people (27 percent) discharged domestic 

wastewater to an estimated 1.75 million septic tanks in 

1995 (U.S. Bureau of Census, 1993; and Florida Department of Health, written commun., 1997). 

Domestic wastewater discharge increased 37 percent between 1985 and 1995 and 14 percent between 

1990 and 1995 (fig. 37). Statewide domestic wastewater 

discharge values were not available prior to 1985.

The largest domestic wastewater discharges in 

1995 were in Dade and Broward Counties (table 15). 

Of the treated domestic wastewater discharged in Dade 

County, 70 percent was released to the Atlantic Ocean, 

and of the treated domestic discharge in Broward 

County, 60 percent was released to deep well injection. 

Dade and Broward Counties each had over 1 million 

people served by domestic wastewater systems 

(table 14). The Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Authority in Dade County had the single largest discharge of 

domestic wastewater (321 Mgal/d), which was treated 

and discharged at 3 facilities during 1995 (app. 2).

Industrial Wastewater

 Industrial wastewater facilities include those 

that produce, treat, or dispose of wastewater not otherwise defined as domestic wastewater. This includes 

runoff and leachate from areas that receive pollutants 

associated with industrial or commercial storage, handling, or processing (Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, 1991). According to the FDEP, 

there were 1,650 industrial facilities in operation 

during 1995 (Fred Noble, written commun., 1996). 

Estimated discharge from the 54 industrial 

wastewater systems that treated and discharged 

0.10 Mgal/d or more) was 292 Mgal/d (table 14). 

Discharges that are not treated as wastewater are not 

included in these totals. Power plant discharge of oncethrough cooling water, discharges for dewatering purposes, and stormwater discharges from retention ponds 

are not included in this total. Permitted systems discharging more than 0.10 Mgal/d periodically, but averaging less than 0.10 Mgal/d per year, were not 

included.

More than 96 percent of the industrial wastewater was discharged to surface water in 1995 (fig. 36). 

The remaining 4 percent was discharged to the ground 

or injection wells. Escambia, Taylor, and Nassau Counties accounted for 46 percent of the State’s industrial 

discharge (table 15). 

Industrial wastewater discharge increased 7 percent between 1985 and 1995 and 2 percent between 

1990 and 1995 (fig. 37). Statewide industrial wastewater discharge values were not available prior to 1985.

38 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

 Statewide withdrawal and water-use estimates 

have been compiled for Florida every 5 years since 

1950; however, variations in historical water-use values are sometimes difficult to assess because of differences in data-collection techniques and sources of 

information through the years. Since 1970, statewide 

water-use data for all withdrawal categories have been 

collected, tabulated, and published five times by many 

agencies (five water management districts, the Florida 

Geological Survey, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the U.S. Geological Survey).

Total water (fresh and saline) withdrawn in Florida increased by 2,886 Mgal/d or 19 percent between 

1970 and 1995 (fig. 38), whereas the population 

increased by 7.4 million people (110 percent) (fig. 1). 

During this period, freshwater withdrawals increased 

nearly 29 percent (1,603 Mgal/d), and saline water 

withdrawals increased 13 percent (1,283 Mgal/d) 

(fig. 38). However, between 1990 and 1995, freshwater 

withdrawals decreased by about 4 percent while saline 

withdrawals increased by 6 percent. This decrease in 

freshwater withdrawals between 1990 and 1995 can be 

attributed to many factors, including, (1) significantly 

drier conditions (lower rainfall) in 1990 during key 

times of the year compared to 1995; (2) water-conservation efforts; and (3) the use of alternative water 

sources such as reclaimed wastewater. Although 1995 

estimates are lower than 1990, it is not possible to 

determine if this change will continue or if 1995 was an 

exceptional year. The increase in saline withdrawals 

can be attributed to an increase in power production 

and capacity at the State’s coastal power plants. Also, 

in 1990 there was a significant amount of downtime at 

several power plants, significantly decreasing water 

usage that year. 

Ground-water withdrawals increased 56 percent 

between 1970 and 1995 (fig. 39 and table 16). This 

long-term trend in ground-water withdrawals is a result 

of: (1) improvements in drilling techniques; (2) the 

ability to pump large quantities of high-quality water 

more economically from large, deep wells; and (3) 

increases in demand posed by population growth and 

crop irrigation. Between 1990 and 1995, ground-water 

withdrawals decreased 7 percent, for many of the 

factors cited in the previous paragraph (fig. 39 and 

table 16).

40 Water Withdrawals, Use, Discharge, and Trends in Florida, 1995

Fresh surface-water withdrawals have increased 

only slightly (2 percent) between 1970 and 1995, and 

increased less than 1 percent between 1990 and 1995. 

Fresh surface-water withdrawals peaked in 1975, primarily due to power generation demands (fig. 39 and 

table 16). Increases in fresh surface-water demands 

posed by increased irrigated agricultural acreage in 

southern Florida during 1970 through 1995 helped offset the large decrease in withdrawals for power generation. 

 Between 1970 and 1995, total freshwater withdrawals increased for public supply by 134 percent, for 

agricultural self-supplied by 54 percent, and for domestic self-supplied by 42 percent. However, during this 

period withdrawals decreased for power generation 

(thermoelectric) by 58 percent and for commercialindustrial self-supplied by 24 percent (table 16). Recreational irrigation withdrawals increased 55 percent 

between 1985 and 1995; prior to 1985, recreational irrigation water use was included in the agricultural selfsupplied category. Public supply and domestic selfsupplied increases are a result of population growth and 

tourism during this time period. Agricultural self-supplied increases during this period are a result of irrigation development and the availablilty of water for 

irrigation which allowed farmers to increase crop production while decreasing the risk of crop damage due 

to prolonged dry conditions.

Between 1990 and 1995, agricultural self-supplied withdrawals decreased 7 percent. This reduction 

in agricultural self-supplied use reflects greater rainfall 

in 1995 than in 1990, more efficient irrigation systems 

and practices, and more accurate data from metered 

irrigation systems. Public-supply water withdrawals 

increased 7 percent between 1990 and 1995, primarily 

as a result of an increase in the State’s population of 9 

percent (1.2 million people). Withdrawals for the other 

categories remained relatively unchanged between 

1990 and 1995 (table 16).

The use of nonpotable ground water as a source 

of supply, primarily for public supply, also has 

increased in Florida. Nonpotable water (sometimes 

referred to as brackish water), which contains less than 

1,000 mg/L of dissolved solids, is sometimes treated by 

desalination processes (see glossary) to meet the FDEP 

drinking-water standards for public supply use. The 

amount of nonpotable water treated to meet drinkingwater standards increased from 17 Mgal/d in 1985 

(Marella, 1995) to 58 Mgal/d in 1995. 

The use of reclaimed wastewater also has 

increased in Florida since the mid 1980’s. According to 

the FDEP, nearly 402 Mgal/d of reclaimed wastewater 

was used in 1996, compared to 266 Mgal/d in 1990, 

and 206 Mgal/d used in 1986 (Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection, 1997). For 1995, an estimated 383 Mgal/d of reclaimed wastewater was inventoried by the Water Management Districts (Florida 

Water Management Districts, 1996), which differs 

from the 240 Mgal/d identified in this report. This 

difference in reported values for 1995 is explained by 

the fact that the FDEP defines ground-water recharge, 

wetlands enhancement, and other such factors as 

waste-water reuse. These categories are not considered 

reuse in this report. Most of the reclaimed wastewater 

(64 percent) reported by FDEP was used for irrigation 

purposes (agricultural and public access areas). The use 

of reclaimed wastewater reduces the demand for freshwater, and is expected to continue to increase statewide. 

Water resources are among Florida’s most important natural assets. Freshwater 

supplies are vital for our daily lives, future residents and visitors, natural systems, 

recreation and agriculture.

Florida’s freshwater supplies are finite and the demands of a growing population 

and the need to sustain our rivers, lakes, wetlands and estuaries requires the utmost 

care and thoughtfulness in planning and using our freshwater supplies.

Purpose, data sources, and contacts

The purpose of this table is to provide additional 

and more specific information on the public supply 

water systems that were inventoried for this project. 

Most of the data or information in this table was 

obtained from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Drinking Water Program office in 

Tallahassee with assistance from personnel in the Ft. 

Myers, Jacksonville, Orlando, Pensacola, Port St. 

Lucie, Tampa, and West Palm Beach District Offices or 

from the five water management districts (Northwest 

Florida, St. Johns River, South Florida, Southwest 

Florida, and the Suwannee River). Additional data or 

information was supplied by the drinking water programs of the Florida Department of Health, County 

Health Department offices in Broward, Dade, Duval, 

Hillsborough, Lee, Palm Beach, Polk, and Sarasota 

Counties. Data also supplied by various utilities including Florida Water Services (formerly Southern States 

Utilities). This table can be obtained from the USGS on

Purpose, data sources, and references

The purpose of this table is to provide additional 

and more specific information on the domestic and 

industrial wastewater facilities that were inventoried 

for this project. Most of the data or information in this 

table was obtained from the Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection, Domestic and Industrial 

Wastewater Program offices in Tallahassee with assistance from personnel in the Ft. Myers, Jacksonville, 

Orlando, Pensacola, Tampa, and West Palm Beach

 District Offices. Additional data was obtained from the 

five water management districts (Northwest Florida, 

St. Johns River, South Florida, Southwest Florida, and 

the Suwannee River), the Florida Department of 

Health, County Health Department offices in Broward, 

Hillsborough, and Palm Beach Counties, or from 

specific utilities or industries including Florida Water 

Services (formerly Southern States Utilities). This 

table can be obtained from the USGS on diskette in 

spreadsheet format.
