ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA

By V. T. Stringfield

ABSTRACT

Artesian water is the source of most of the large and many of the 

small water supplies in the Florida peninsula. The areas in which large 

amounts of artesian water are used include irrigation districts, as in 

Seminole, Manatee, and Sarasota Counties, and some of the cities, as Jacksonville. Some of the problems of the artesian supplies include (l) decline of head and of yield of wells in areas of large draft from wells, 

(2) contamination of fresh artesian water by salt water, (3) subsurface 

leakage in wells, (4) drainage by means of wells.

The principal artesian formations are the Ocala limestone, of Eocene 

age, and the Tampa limestone and Hawthorn formations*of Miocene age. The 

older rocks underlying these formations are not important sources of water 

at present, because they are deeply buried in a large part of the peninsula and in some places contain highly mineralized water. The younger 

rocks, overlying the artesian formations, constitute the main source of 

nonartesian ground water. The Ocala and Tampa formations consist essentially of limestone, part of which is porous and contains cavities. They 

contain large amounts of water and are the source of some of the largest 

limestone springs in the United States. The Ocala underlies the entire 

peninsula and crops out in the northwestern part. It has an estimated 

thickness of about 500 feet, overlies older undifferentiated Eocene 

rocks, and underlies the Tampa limestone. The Tampa underlies part of 

the peninsula and crops out in the northwestern part. It has an estimated thickness of about 200 feet. The Hawthorn formation consists of 

about 500 feet of interbedded marl, limestone, play, and sand. It rests 

on the Ocala limestone in some localities and on the Tampa limestone in 

others. It underlies the entire peninsula except where the Ocala or 

Tampa is at or near the surface. In the southern part of the peninsula 

it is overlain by a considerable thickness of younger material. These 

formations are bent into an anticline that trends northward through the 

peninsula and plunges toward the south. The crest of the anticline is 

in the northwestern part, where the Ocala limestone is estimated to be 

as much as 120 feet above sea level. The structure is favorable for 

artesian conditions, which are present throughout the peninsula except 

locally in recharge areas. In part of the area, however, the artesian 

conditions and the movement of the water are independent of the structure.

The wells that are supplied from the artesian formations range in 

depth from less than 100 feet to more than 1,000 feet and in yield from 

a few gallons to several thousand gallons a minute. The areas In which 

wells will overflow at the surface lie chiefly along the coasts and in 

the southern part of Florida. The height to which water will rise above 

the surface of the ground ranges from a fraction of a foot to about 45 

feet. In nonflowing wells in the higher areas the water may stand as 

'much as 100 feet below the surface. The height above sea level to which 

artesian water will rise ranges from a few feet in some areas on or near 

the coast to 120 feet in the central part of the peninsula. Recorded 

fluctuations of head range from less than a foot to several feet. Some 

of the causes of these fluctuations are withdrawal of water from wells 

either by natural flow or pumpage, rainfall, discharge of surface water 

into drainage wells, ocean tides, changes in barometric pressure, and 

fluctuations of river levels.

The contour map representing the piezometric surface, or height 

above sea level to which water would rise in tightly cased wells, in 

1934 indicates the areas of large recharge and of large discharge, the 

hydraulic gradient, and the direction of movement of the water. The 

principal areas of recharge are in the central, north-central, and 

northwestern parts of the peninsula and one area in Georgia that supplies part of the water for northern Florida. They include areas in 

which the artesian formations are at or near the surface, areas where 

sink holes extend from the surface to the artesian formations, and areas 

where drainage wells penetrate the artesian formations. The principal 

areas of natural discharge of artesian water are in the north-central 

and northwestern parts of the peninsula. This discharge occurs through 

large springs and seepages, some of which are submarine. The area of 

most obvious influence of natural discharge on the piezometric surface 

is in the north-central part of the peninsula, where the piezometric 

surface forms a low saddle that slopes to only a few feet above sea 

level along the coasts. One of the areas of most obvious influence of 

draft from wells on the piezometric surface is in Jacksonville « ^ 

vicinity. 1-15
116 CONTRIBUTIONS TO HYDROLOGY, 1936

Artesian water that contains more than 100 parts per million of chloride is present at moderate depths in parts of the coastal areas and in the 

valley of the St. Johns River, where the artesian pressure is small, and 

also in part of southern Florida. In some areas the pressure on the artesian 

water is great enough to cause the water to discharge into the ocean through 

submarine springs, and no encroachment of sea water is occurring now, but 

encroachment may occur if the pressure is lowered sufficiently. Some of the 

water is contaminated by salt water or mineral salts in the formation and not 

by the encroachment of sea water.

INTRODUCTION 

Previous reports

The geology and ground water of Florida are described in several reports prepared by the State Geological Survey of Florida and the United

States Geological Survey. One of the earliest of these is a report by Sel1 

lards relating to the artesian water of central Florida. A report by Mat2 

son and Sanford, published in 1913, is one of the most comprehensive reports

on the ground water of the entire State. In the same year a report by Sel3 

lards and Gunter on the artesian water of eastern and southern Florida was

published. General information regarding the ground water is included in

4

several later reports published by the Florida Geological Survey. The report by Gunter and Ponton includes maps of the artesian water in part of

5 

the area. A detailed report on the artesian water in Sarasota County was

6

published in 1933. A paper prepared by Collins and Howard includes a discussion and analyses of artesian water of the Florida peninsula.

The most complete description of the geology of the peninsula is given

7 

in a report by Cooke and Mossom, which includes a geologic map showing the

distribution of the geologic formations at or near the surface. A report

8 

by Mossom describes the geologic structure of the State.

ARTESIAN WATER IK THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 117

A report of the U. S. Engineer office at Jacksonville contains Information regarding the geology and ground water of the central and northern

parts of the peninsula. It Includes a map described as representing the

10 

water table In part of the peninsula. An unpublished report prepared for

the water-supply commission of Jacksonville contains a map representing the 

artesian water In Jacksonville and vicinity and a map with generalized contours described as representing the ground-water table In the peninsula.

Present Investigation

In recent years there have been new developments of ground-water supplies In Florida, and the consumption of water In some areas has steadily 

Increased. Similar increases may be expected in the future. The yield of 

wells has decreased as a result of heavy draft In some localities. In 

certain areas near the coast the decrease in head has permitted salt water 

tc enter the wells and contaminate the fresh-water supply to such an extent 

that It has been necessary to abandon the wells and develop new supplies. 

In other areas no salt-water encroachment has yet taken place, but with 

heavy draft from wells it may occur in the future. Among other problems 

are those that arise from subsurface leakage of water in improperly cased 

wells and the use of wells for drainage of surface water into the underlying rocks.

In order to facilitate a better understanding and interpretation of 

hydrologic conditions relating to these local ground-water problems, a 

general survey of the artesian water in the Florida peninsula was undertaken in 1934, and this report is based chiefly on the results of that 

work. The investigation was under the direction of 0. E. Melnzer, geologist in charge of the division of ground-water work of the United States 

Geological Survey. The writer was in charge of the field work and spent 

about 8 months on it. Frank Westendick, assigned to the United States 

Geological Survey for the investigation, spent about 12 months in the 

field collecting data over a large part of the area. D. G. Thompson made 

valuable suggestions regarding the field work. Herman Gunter, State 

geologist of Florida, gave hearty and valuable cooperation. Many of9 Geology and ground water (Appendix B, Waterway from Cumberland

ficials, owners of wells, and others furnished information that made the 

progress of the investigation possible.

As a result of the investigation maps were prepared representing the 

head of the artesian water in the peninsula and the general areal extent 

of the highly mineralized water. The artesian map shows by contours the 

height to which water would rise above sea level in tightly cased wells 

in 1934. These contours indicate the areas of recharge, the areas of 

large discharge, the hydraulic gradient, and the direction of movement 

of the artesian water and aid in the explanation of the present distribution of the highly mineralized water.

TOPOGRAPHY

The topography of the Florida peninsula is described in a report by

11 

Matson and Sanford, which includes a generalized topographic map. It

12

is also briefly described by Cooke- and Mossom in a more recent publication. The United States Geological Survey has published detailed 

topographic maps of nine quadrangles in the north-central part of the 

peninsula and of fifteen quadrangles in the northeastern part of Florida 

and the adjacent part of Georgia.

Although the altitudes range only from sea level to about 300 feet, 

the topography presents considerable diversity. An upland, much of which 

Is hilly, extends as a central ridge from the northern part of the peninsula to southern Highlands County. West of the central ridge is another 

Irregular hilly area, which lies chiefly in Pasco, Hernando, and Citrus 

Counties. Much of the upland area contains numerous sink holes or other 

depressions and lakes that range in diameter from a few feet to several 

miles. The sink holes formed by the removal of underlying soluble limestone by ground water are typically developed in such areas as Alachua, 

Marion, and Citrus Counties. Lakes occupying depressions, part of which 

are probably old sink holes, are abundant in Lake and Polk Counties, 

which are within an area often referred to as the "lake region," Topography of this type bears an important relation to ground water, because 

it was formed chiefly by the action of ground water on the soluble underlying limestone and because surface water enters the formation through 

the sinks and lakes, thus recharging the water-bearing rocks, even though 

they may not be present at the surface.

12 Cooke, C. W., and Mossom, Stuart, op. cit., pp. 42, 43.
ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 119

Adjacent to and bordering the upland sections are plains or terraces

13 

extending to the coast. As described by Cooke and Mossom, "plains cover

more than half of the State of Florida. Most of them are either coastal 

terraces, which are former sea bottoms, or drained lake basins. Terraces 

occupy the southern third of the peninsula and extend inland for considerable distances along both the east and the west coast. Most of the terraces on the west side of the peninsula north of Tampa are * * * floored 

by limestone of Eocene and Miocene age, which are covered by only a thin 

veneer of Pleistocene or Recent sand. The terraces along the Atlantic 

coast have been built up by the sea, but farther inland erosion has been 

dominant. The terraces range in altitude from sea level to 200 feet or 

more above sea level."

GEOLOGY 

General features

The Florida peninsula is underlain by 4,000 feet or more of sedimentary rocks that overlie a basement of metamorphic rocks. The formations 

exposed at the surface in different parts of the peninsula probably represent about 1,000 to 1,500 feet of the geologic section and include the 

Ocala limestone, of Eocene age, and younger formations of Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene, and Recent age. These formations yield the groundwater supplies. The sedimentary rocks older than the Ocala probably 

represent formations of Eocene and Cretaceous age but at the present time 

are not of importance as a source of potable water supplies because they 

are deeply buried and in much of the area contain highly mineralized

water.

14 

According to Cooke and Mossom, "the oldest rocks in Florida of

which there is any record are mica schists and quartzite that are reached 

by a deep well in Marion County but do not occur at the surface anywhere 

in the State. Although little is known about them by direct examination, 

it can be inferred that they form part of the great series of metamorphic 

and igneous rocks that make up the Piedmont Plateau of Alabama, Georgia, 

and other Eastern States and that underlie the sediments of the Atlantic 

Coastal Plain wherever the sediments have been cut through by streams or 

penetrated by wells. Bedrock of this kind may underlie the entire State

The sedimentary rocks that overlie .the basement rocks of the plateau

The crest of the fold is in the northwestern part of the peninsula, 

where the Ocala limestone lies at or near the surface. On some parts of 

the crest the Ocala is as much as 120 feet above sea level. It dips 

under the younger formations exposed on the flanks of the fold. This 

fold affords structural features favorable for artesian conditions. The 

formations on its flanks dip at low angles toward the Atlantic Ocean and 

the Gulf of Mexico. They crop out on the floor of the ocean or gulf 

some distance offshore, and some of them probably crop out on the edge 

of the Floridian Plateau.

some gypsum, lignite, and clay, and the underlying Cretaceous rocks by about 840 feet of material, chiefly limestone and chalk, with some shale. 

The upper part of the Eocene rocks is assigned to the Ocala limestone,

which is the oldest formation exposed at the surface in the State. In a

Ocala limestone

19 

The name "Ocala limestone" was first used by Dall in 1892 for the

20 

tNummulitic limestone exposed at the surface and in quarries in the

vicinity of Ocala, in Marion County. The name is now applied to all

21 

Eocene rocks exposed in Florida.

The Ocala limestone underlies all of the Florida peninsula and lies 

at or near the surface in the northwestern part of the peninsula adjacent 

to the Gulf of Mexico, That area includes all or parts of Sumter, Hernando, Citrus, Marion, Levy, Alachua, Dixie, Gilchrist, Lafayette, and 

Suwannee Counties. In the northeastern part of the peninsula the Ocala 

is about 500 feet below the surface; in the southern part, 1,000 feet or 

more. The general position of the top of the formation with reference to

sea level is indicated in plate 6.

22 

The formation consists essentially of limestone and is reported

to have a thickness of at least 500 feet in the northern part of the 

peninsula and possibly is much thicker in the southern part. Predominantly the limestone is fairly soft and porous, some of it consisting 

entirely of remains of small fossil organisms. Part of the limestone, 

however, is dense and compact. Bedding planes are absent in exposed 

sections. In areas where the formation crops out the limestone ranges 

in color from white to yellow and brown. Circulation of water through 

parts of the formation has formed cavities and caverns, especially where 

it is at or near the surface. In these areas sink holes are numerous, 

and also cylindrical holes or natural wells, ranging from a fraction of 

a foot to more than 5 feet in diameter and from a few feet to more than 

50 feet in depth (pi. 7, A), that lead downward from the surface and 

connect with underground passages that represent former water levels in 

the rocks. Some of the passages are now interconnected with the present 

ground-water level. Solution channels formerly occupied by ground water 

but now filled with sand and clay are exposed in some of the limestone 

quarries in Marion County. An exposure of a small channel filled with 

clayey material is shown in plate 7, B. One of the largest channels ot>-

sense.

served, about 12 feet wide and 6 feet high, In Marion County, Is filled 

chiefly with white quartz sand and some gray clay. It has a fairly flat 

floor and an arched roof. According to reports by drillers, many of the 

wells penetrating the Ocala limestone In the central part of Florida encounter cavities as much as 20 feet high, but In the southern part of the 

peninsula, where the limestone Is deeply burled, no cavities have been 

reported. Recently exposed surfaces of the Ocala show an old erosion surface at the top of the formation. (See pi. 8, A.) Records of wells Indicate that old stream channels have cut Into the formation to depths of 

more than 100 feet below the present sea level. Also, some sink holes, 

formerly several hundred feet deep but now filled with sand, are present.

Secondary deposition of silica, as layers or irregular masses of 

chert, has accompanied the leaching and solution of the limestone at 

many places. Such replacement Is usually most extensive near the surface, but chert has been encountered at considerable depths In wells. 

The chert and sillcifled limestone are usually noticed by well drillers 

because they are much harder than other parts of the formation.

In different parts of the peninsula the Ocala limestone Is overlain 

unconformably by the Tampa limestone, the Hawthorn formation, or younger 

material. In the northeastern part of the peninsula It Is overlain directly by the Hawthorn formation. Older unexposed Eocene rocks underlie 

the Ocala.

The llthology of the Ocala and the underlying Eocene rocks Is similar, and It Is therefore necessary to distinguish the two units on the 

basis of a study of fossils collected from the well cuttings. No diagnostic fossils have been reported near the contact, and the lower limit 

of the Ocala has therefore not been definitely determined.

The Ocala limestone Is one of the chief water-bearing formations 

of the peninsula because of Its wide extent and Its capacity to yield 

large quantities of water to wells. In parts of the formation the water 

occurs In caverns or cavities. Much of the limestone Is so porous that 

water percolates freely through It. The chert and sillcifled limestone 

are relatively Impervious and do not yield water to wells, but water Is 

commonly encountered Immediately beneath these rocks. The capacity of 

the Ocala formation to yield water to wells Is less In the southern 

part of the peninsula than in the central part. Some of the wells In 

Sarasota County that penetrate the Ocala limestone yield little or no
126 CONTRIBUTIONS TO HYDROLOGY, 1956

25

water from that formation. The Ocala contains water tinder artesian pressure that Is confined by relatively Impervious rocks of overlying formations 

and also by relatively impervious limestone and chert within the Ocala itaelf. It supplies water for many of the wells in the peninsula (see table 

at end of the report) and is the source of water for many of the public supplies. The public water supply for the city of Jacksonville, one of the 

largest supplies in the State, is obtained from wells penetrating the Ocala. 

The formation is the source of some of the large springs, such as Silver 

Springs, in Marion County. In the southern part of the peninsula, however, 

the formation supplies few wells because of ita great depth below the surface, its relatively small yield of water, and the saline water present 

in that part of the formation.

The fresh water of the Ocala enters the formation in areas where it 

is exposed at or near the surface in the central part of the peninsula and 

in other places where it is overlain by permeable material that permits 

downward percolation of the water.

Ollgocene rocks 

Vicksburg group

In Florida, rocks of Oligocene age are referred to the Vickaburg

group, which in the northwestern part of the State is represented by the

24 

Marianna limestone, the Byram marl, and the Flint River formation. The

Flint River formation is believed to correspond to the upper part of the

25 

Byram marl. The Glendon limestone, which in southern Alabama and

Mississippi underlies the Byram marl, was formerly supposed to be present

26 

in northern Florida also, but more recent work by Cooke has led him to

27

doubt the presence of the Glendon in Florida, and the beds in southwestern Georgia and northern Florida that were formerly called "Glendon" 

have recently been named by him "Flint River formation." At present no 

representative of the Vicksburg group is known to occur in the Florida 

peninsula, but it is considered probable by Cooke that the limestone 

exposed on the Suwannee River and now treated as the basal bed of the 

Tampa limestone may in reality be of Vicksburg age.

Miocene rocka

The Miocene rocks in the Florida peninsula are represented by the 

Tampa limestone and the Hawthorn formation. The Hawthorn belongs to the 

Alum Bluff group and is probably contemporaneous with the Chipola formation, the lowest formation of the Alum Bluff group of western Florida.

Tampa limestone

28 

The name "Tampa limestone" was used by Ball in 1892, in describing

rocks exposed at Ballast Point, near Tampa. A more recent conception of

the formation includes Ball's Tampa limestone and, as mapped by Cooke and

29 

Mossom, not only the Tampa of early workers but most of the Chattachoochee and part of the Hawthorn formation of Matson and Clapp.

The Tampa limestone lies at or near the surface in an area that includes all or parts of Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Sumter, 

and Citrus Counties, also in the northwestern part of the peninsula and 

in erosion remnants in a few areas where the Ocala limestone is near the 

surface. Well records indicate that the Tampa limestone is absent in 

the eastern and northeastern parts of the peninsula. The position of 

the Tampa limestone with reference to sea level may be estimated approximately by referring to plate 6, which represents by contours the position

of the top of the Ocala limestone.

30 

According to Cooke and Mossom the Tampa limestone is apparently not

more than 100 feet thick in the vicinity of Tampa, although Matson and

31 

Clapp report the maximum thickness in that vicinity as more than 130

feet. Cooke states that the Tampa is about 100 feet thick near Live 

Oak, in Suwannee County. Records of wells near Lake City, in Columbia 

County, indicate that the Tampa in that county is less than 100 feet 

thick and is locally absent. Wells in the northwestern part of Hillsborough County and in southern Florida penetrate locally as much as 250 

feet of limestone that may be assigned to the Tampa.

The Tampa formation consists essentially of limestone that ranges 

in color from white to brown. In general the limestone is harder, more 

compact, and less porous than the Ocala. The texture and hardness are 

variable, however, and some parts of it consist of loose masses of fossil organisms and other parts are chalky, dense, compact, silicified,

and cherty. Unlike the Ocala, the Tampa limestone is bedded. (See 

pi. 9, A.) In some localities the circulation of ground water through 

the limestone has formed cavities and more or leas vertical cylindrical 

holes or natural wells similar to those developed in the Ocala limestone. 

(See pi. 7, A.) The formation is overlain by the Hawthorn formation and 

is underlain by the Ocala limestone.

The Tampa limestone is an important water-bearing formation of the 

peninsula, chiefly in the western and southwestern parts, as in Hillsborough and Pasco Counties. In parts of the formation water occurs in caverns and cavities and along joints and bedding planes. Some of the 

limestone permits free percolation of water through it, but the dense 

cherty and silicified limestone is relatively impervious. The formation 

contains water tinder artesian pressure, confined by relatively impervious 

material within the formation and the overlying rocks. Generally water 

can be obtained throughout the formation, but in the southern part of 

the peninsula some of the limestone yields little or no water. In 

Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco Counties the formation yields large 

quantities of water to wells and is the source of water for domestic and 

public supplies, including the supply for the city of St. Petersburg. 

It is also the source of some of the large springs, such as Sulphur 

Spring, near Tampa.

Presh water enters the formation in areas where it is exposed at 

or near the surface.

Hawthorn formation

In western Florida the Alum Bluff group comprises the Chipola 

formation, the Oak Grove sand, and the Shoal River formation. In the 

peninsula, however, it is represented only by the Hawthorn formation, 

which is considered to be contemporaneous with the Chipola or lower

formation of the group as developed in western Florida.

32 

The Hawthorn formation was named by Ball in 1892 after the town

33 

of Hawthorn. As now defined, "the Hawthorn formation includes the

original Hawthorn 'beds' of Dall, but excludes the Gassidulus-bearing 

limestone and chert, which Matson and Clapp placed in the Hawthorn 

formation but which is known to be Tampa, With it are tentatively in32 Dall, W. H., and Harris G. D., Correlation papers - Neocene:

The Hawthorn formation overlies the Tampa limestone or, at many places 

in the peninsula, as in the eastern and northeastern parts, where the Tampa 

is absent, it lies directly and unconformably upon the Ocala limestone. It 

is overlain by the Choctawhatchee and younger formations. The Hawthorn includes permeable water-bearing beds of sand, limestone, and marl, above and 

below which are less permeable beds. In some localities the water-bearing 

beds contain solution channels that yield water to wells and springs. In 

general the lower part of the formation yields the most water, but usually 

wells supplied by water from the Hawthorn have only moderate yields, and 

where large supplies are required the wells are drilled into the underlying 

limestones. With proper development, however, large supplies of water can 

be obtained from the formation. Much of the water in the Hawthorn is under 

artesian pressure, and the pressure head in the lower part of the formation 

appears to be comparable with that in the underlying limestone.

Fresh water enters the formation where it is exposed at or near the 

surface and in areas where it is overlain by permeable material.

Choctawhatchee formation

40 

The Choctawhatchee formation as described by Cooke consists of beds

of greenish or gray sandy and clayey micaceous shell marl and brown clay. 

Shell marl referable to this formation was penetrated between depths of

65 and 100 feet in a well at Kissimmee, in Osceola County. On the

41 

Caloosahatchee River in Lee County Cooke and Mossom mapped a small area

as Choctawhatchee formation because the soft limestone that underlies it 

contains a fauna of that age.

Except in certain local areas, such as Osceola County, the Choctawhatchee formation is not considered an important water-bearing formation 

in the peninsula because of its slight areal extent.

ARTESIAN WATER IS THE FLORIDA PEHIHSULA 131 

Pliocene. Pleistocene, and Recent rocks

The formations of Pliocene, Pleistocene, and Recent age in the peninsula are listed in the table on page 122. The character and distribution

42 

of these formations are described by Cooke. In general they are surficial deposits overlying the older formations. The greatest thickness of 

these sedimentary deposits is in the southern part of the peninsula. They 

supply water to many shallow wells for domestic use and also to some wells 

for use as public supplies, such as those for Miami and other cities in 

the coastal areas and southern Florida, where the deeper waters are highly 

mineralized.

ARTESIAN WATER 

General conditions

Part of the water absorbed by the soil or surficial rocks percolates 

downward until it reaches a level where the rocks or soil are saturated 

with ground water. This saturated zone constitutes the body of ground 

water that yields water to wells, and its upper surface is known as the 

water table. The water table is not, as its name suggests, an even surface, because in general it is gently undulating, being highest beneath 

the hills and sloping toward nearby streams, lakes, or the ocean. The 

rainfall is large and makes large contributions to the ground water, and 

the water table is generally near the surface. In much of the southern 

part of the peninsula, where the topographic relief is small and surface 

drainage is relatively sluggish, the water table is only a few feet in 

depth. Under the higher land, as in Pasco and Hernando Counties, and 

elsewhere in the central and west-central part of the peninsula, where 

the relief is relatively large, the water table lies deeper.

In some areas water percolates downward, encounters relatively impervious material, and is prevented from reaching the main body of ground 

water. The water table thus formed is above and in part independent of 

the main zone of saturation and is known as a "perched water table." 

Where the static water level of nonflowing artesian wells is slightly 

above the main water table, as in some parts of Florida, care must be 

exercised to avoid interpreting the artesian water as representing a 

perched water table or the normal water table.

42 Cooke, C. W., and Mossom, Stuart, op. cit., pp. 150-227, pi. 2.
132 CONTRIBUTIONS TO HYDROLOGY, 1936

Under water-table conditions that is, where the water is not under 

artesian pressure many small water supplies are obtained throughout the 

peninsula. In the coastal areas and the southern part, where the artesian 

water is too highly mineralized to be considered desirable for consumption, 

large nonartesian water supplies have been and may be developed in the 

future.

Many of the small water supplies and most of the large supplies in 

the peninsula are obtained from artesian water. Where permeable rock 

strata are confined by relatively impermeable overlying and underlying 

strata, the water in the permeable strata is generally under hydrostatic 

pressure, and a well penetrating these strata is an artesian well, even 

though the water may rise in the well only a short distance above the 

permeable rocks. Water from the surface enters the permeable rocks in 

areas of relatively high altitude where the impermeable material is not 

present. Prom such intake or recharge areas the water after it reaches 

the permeable rocks gradually moves laterally under the confining beds, 

in response to pressure produced by the recharge.

The Ocala limestone, the Tampa limestone, and the Hawthorn formation 

are the chief artesian water-bearing formations of the peninsula. The 

Hawthorn formation also contains relatively impervious beds that prevent 

or retard upward percolation from water-bearing zones of lower parts of 

the Hawthorn and from the underlying Tampa and Ocala limestones. The 

Tampa and Ocala also contain relatively impervious rocks, such as chert 

and silicified limestone, that prevent or retard upward percolation from 

lower water-bearing zones, and therefore artesian water is present in 

these formations in some areas where they are at or near the surface and 

the Hawthorn formation is absent. Artesian water is present throughout 

the peninsula except in parts of the recharge areas. The large rock 

fold shown in plate 6 provides the principal structural conditions for 

artesian water, but the recharge areas and the direction of movement of 

the artesian water are in part independent of the structure. (Compare 

pi. 12 and pi. 6.)

Areas of artesian flow

The general areas in which the artesian water is under sufficient 

pressure to rise to the surface and produce flowing wells are represented 

in plate 10. They include three principal areas ~ the Atlantic coast, 

southern Florida, and the Gulf coast. The map indicates the limits of

the areas of flow only approximately, and more detailed work is necessary 

to determine the exact limits. Within the areas of flow there are relatively high districts in which wells will not flow; on the other hand, 

in parts of the peninsula shown as nonflowing areas flows may be obtained 

in some of the relatively low districts where the pressure head is relatively high.

Atlantic coast area.- The Atlantic coast area extends along the east 

coast of Florida from north to south. In the northern part it includes 

much of Nassau and Duval Counties and extends westward along the valley of 

the St. Marys River into Baker County. It includes the valleys of the 

St. Johns River and some of its tributaries, such as Black Creek and the 

Oklawaha and Wekiva Rivers. The area of flow along Black Creek and its 

tributaries extends into western Clay County. The area of flow along the 

Oklawaha River extends into the east-central part of Marion County. At 

the headwaters of the Oklawaha River, on the borders of some of the large 

lakes in Lake County, the artesian water in wella is near the surface of 

the ground. Flowing wells are obtained in the lowland bordering the 

southeast, south, and west sides of Lake Apopka, but on the north and 

northeast sides of the lake the pressure head is somewhat less and there 

are no flowing wells.

Southern Florida area.- The southern Florida area merges into the 

Atlantic coast and Gulf coaat areas and covera all of the southern part 

of the peninsula. It extends along the Kissimmee River Valley into 

northern Osceola County and along the Peace Creek Valley to the southern 

part of Polk County. In the southern part of the peninsula there are a 

few relatively high areas, such as that west of Immokalee, in northern 

Collier County, where wells will not flow. So far as known, wells on 

the Florida Keys are nonflowing, although the altitude of the surface is 

only a few feet above aea level.

Gulf coast area.- The Gulf coast area is chiefly a narrow strip 

along the Gulf of Mexico. It extends inland along the valley of the 

Miakka River in Sarasota and Manatee Counties and the larger valleys in 

Manatee and Hillsborough Counties. In Pasco, Hernando, and Citrus 

Counties flows may be expected only where the land surface is near sea 

level.

Artesian head

The artesian head, sometimes called "pressure head" or merely "head", 

is the height with reference to some datum to which water will rise in a 

tightly cased well penetrating an artesian formation. The imaginary surface that represents the level to which water will rise in artesian wells 

is known as the "piezometric" or "pressure-indicating" surface. The 

piezometric surface may be represented by contours, or lines that pass 

through points where the head is at equal altitude above a given datum. 

(See pi. 12.) In order to determine the shape of the piezometric surface 

and the fluctuations of head, measurements were made of the water levels 

or pressure in observation wells at times when they were not discharging.

On wells with large pressure the head was determined by means of 

a pressure gage that indicated the height to which water would rise above 

the gage. On wells where the water would rise less than 5 feet above the 

surface the static level was determined by measuring the height to which 

the water rose in a garden hose attached to the well. Where the water 

level stood below the top of the well casing the depth to water was 

measured with a steel tape. Continuous records of the fluctuations of 

water levels in a few wells were obtained by automatic recorders. (See 

pi. 11.)

The observed water levels and artesian head are shown in the table 

at the end of this report and are discussed below. The observed water 

levels range from a few feet above sea level in some areas near the coast 

to more than 100 feet above sea level in the central part of the peninsula.

Increased head and flow with increased depth

Differences in the head and flow at different depths may be expected in some parts of the peninsula. The head in the lower part of 

the Hawthorn formation and in the underlying formations differs from 

that in the middle and upper parts of the Hawthorn, as shown by wells in 

Duval County and many other parts of the peninsula. (See pages 165-189.) 

In general the head in the lower part of the Hawthorn formation is approximately the same as that in the underlying Tampa and Ocala, although most wells in the Hawthorn yield less water than those in the

underlying formations. However, in certain areas increases in head and

43 

flow have been observed with increased depth. According to a record

artesian water had a pressure head of 27.72 feet with reference to the 

ground surface when the well reached a depth of 680 feet and a pressure 

head of 34.65 feet when it reached a depth of 900 feet. The flow was about 

5 gallons a minute from a depth of 270 feet, 900 gallons a minute from a 

depth of 900 feet, and 1,500 to 2,000 gallons a minute from a depth of 980 

feet. The well penetrated about 500 feet of the Hawthorn formation and

entered the Ocala limestone at a depth of about 510 feet.

44 

An incomplete log of the well at the Ponce de Leon Hotel, at St.

Augustine (well 27, St. Johns County), indicates that the artesian water 

had a pressure head of 32 feet with reference to the surface of the ground 

when the well reached a depth of 170 feet, a head of 38 feet when the well 

reached a depth of 350 feet, and a head of 42 feet when the well reached 

a depth of 520 feet. The Ocala limestone was penetrated at a depth of 

about 170 feet. The pressure head of this well in 1930 (see pages 173, 187) 

was about 30 feet with reference to the surface of the ground. That pressure head appears to be about the average for wells penetrating the Ocala 

limestone in the vicinity of St. Augustine a fact which suggests that 

where wells penetrate water-bearing beds at several horizons with different artesian pressures there will be an equalization of pressure in the 

beds at different horizons in the vicinity of the wells, as discussed 

under "Leakage of wells", unless the wells are so cased that they will 

prevent such leakage.

A difference in pressure head at different depths is also reported 

in the Ocala limestone in Sumter County. See table of wells at end of 

report. However, in Volusia, Seminole, and Sarasota Counties and some 

other parts of the peninsula wells much deeper than the average have 

been constructed in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain larger pressure 

heads and yields. Several of the deeper wells penetrated beds yielding 

highly mineralized water.

Fluctuations of artesian head

Observations have indicated that the head of the artesian water is 

fluctuating almost constantly. In order that the character of the 

piezometric surface could be interpreted and the effect of recharge and 

discharge of water determined, it was necessary to ascertain so far as 

possible the causes and amounts of these fluctuations. They were found

44 Matson, G. C., and Sanford, Samuel, op. cit., p. 396.
136 CONTRIBUTIONS TO HYDROLOGY, 1936

to range from less than a foot to several feet. Some of the observed 

causes of fluctuations are rainfall, barometric pressure, tides, rivers, 

drainage wells, and artesian flow or purapage from wells.

Fluctuations caused by rainfall

In recharge areas, such as Marion County, the water levels in wells 

may rise as much as 10 feet within a period of a few weeks, and much of 

the rise may be attributed to rainfall that enters the water-bearing 

formations. The graphs based on intermittent measurements of water level 

in wells 40, 41, and 42, Marion County (fig. ll) show examples of such 

fluctuations. Rainfall in Florida is often localized, and the record at 

Ocala represents only in a general way the rainfall in the intake areas 

of the wells. The effect of rainfall in the recharge area is transmitted 

to other parts of the formation, but this transmission is usually slow, 

requiring weeks or perhaps months, the time depending on the distance and 

the hydrologic conditions; moreover, with distance the magnitude of the 

effects decreases. In parts of the peninsula at some distance from recharge areas rainfall may indirectly cause fluctuations of water levels 

in wells. The hydrograph of well 9, Sarasota County, in an irrigation 

district, together with the record of rainfall shown in figure 12, shows 

that there is a marked increase in head during some periods after rains. 

For example, in 1931 a considerable increase in head followed rains of 

1.08 inches on February 17, 1.81 inches on March 2, and 3.29 inches on 

April 15, with smaller amounts on the days immediately preceding and 

following. At certain other times, however, there has been considerable 

rainfall without such marked increase in the head. Generally when rain 

occurs in appreciable amounts during the irrigation season many of the 

flowing wells are closed, and this reduction in withdrawal of artesian

water is the principal cause of increased head.

45 

Matson points out that rainfall may cause some increase in the

head by the added weight of the rain water that may accumulate in the 

formation overlying the artesian formation. This weight may be transmitted to the underlying formation and may thereby cause an increase in 

artesian head. Increases of pressure after rains have been reported by 

owners of wells in Seminole County, but these wells are in irrigation 

districts, and the changes in head may be caused by the closing of the 

flowing wells, as described above. Moreover, in Seminole County there 

may be local recharge of the artesian formations.

Fluctuations caused by changes in atmospheric pressure

Variations in atmospheric pressure probably tend to cause fluctuations 

in the head of water in all artesian wells, but these fluctuations may be 

masked by greater fluctuations due to other causes, chiefly variations in 

withdrawal of water. The fluctuations of the water level in well 9, Sarasota County, during a period when there was little discharge of water 

from artesian wells in that vicinity, is represented in figure 13. This 

diagram also shows the fluctuations in atmospheric pressure as recorded 

by a barograph in Sarasota. The barograph record, representing atmospheric 

pressure in inches of mercury, has been transformed to equivalent pressures in feet of water, and the graph inverted in order that it may be 

compared more readily with the graph representing the fluctuations in 

water level. As plotted, a downward trend of the barometric graph represents an increase in barometric pressure, and vice versa. The similarity of the two graphs is evident and is caused by changes in barometric 

pressure. The lack of similarity at some points may be attributed in 

part to differences in the sensitivity of the recording instruments and 

to the fact that the original barograph record is on a small scale, in 

which it is difficult to detect slight differences that would appear 

clearly in the graph made by the water-stage recorder. The two graphs 

in figure 13 show a semidiurnal cycle which is a characteristic of 

changes in barometric pressure. In addition to these small fluctuations 

more gradual changes appear on both graphs, which during a period of 

several days for example, between June 8 and 12 amount to as much 

as 0,5 foot. Such fluctuations of atmospheric pressure in cycles of a 

few days of stormy and fair weather, together with the semidiurnal 

cycles, reveal the close relation between fluctuations of the water 

level and changes in barometric pressure. The movement of water level 

is nearly equal in amount to the change in barometric pressure expressed in terms of feet of water pressure.

Barometric fluctuations of water levels in wells have been observed in many localities, and the explanation of this phenomenon has

46 

been discussed by Meinzer.

ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 141 

Fluctuations caused by ocean tides

According to the records of a continuous water-stage recorder, a few 

observations, and many reported measurements, the head and yield of artesian wells near the coast of the Florida peninsula are affected by ocean 

tides. The maximum fluctuation observed that can be definitely attributed 

to that influence amounts to about 1 foot in wells near the Gulf of Mexico and 2 feet in wells near the Atlantic Ocean. The farthest point inland 

at which tidal fluctuations in head were definitely observed was about 

0.2 mile from the nearest tidal water body.

The continuous records indicate that there is a semidiurnal variation 

of 1 "to 2 feet in the artesian head on the Atlantic coast at Jacksonville 

Beach,in Duval County. The variation is undoubtedly caused by the tides 

in the ocean. The maximum pressure corresponds to the high tide, and the 

low pressure to the low tide.

Tidal fluctuations in wells may be attributed to one of two causes 

(1) the transfer of water between the ocean and the ground water through 

the water-bearing formations; (2) the alternate compression and expansion 

of the water-bearing formations by the added weight of water transmitted 

in the vicinity at high tide and the removal of the weight at low tide. 

The conditions in much of the coastal area of the peninsula, so far as 

they affect the occurrence of water in the artesian formations, are reported to be somewhat comparable to conditions in the vicinity of Atlantic

47

City, N. J., where it has been demonstrated by Thompson that fluctuations in the head of water in wells drawing from a bed at a depth of 800 

feet are due to the alternate tidal loading and unloading in the immediate 

vicinity and not to any pressure change transmitted from the suboceanic 

outcrop of the bed.

Fluctuations caused by rivers

In the northwestern part of the peninsula, along the Suwannee River 

and the lower course of the Santa Fe River, and in the west-central part, 

along the lower course of the Withlacoochee River, any change in the stage 

of the rivers affects the ground-water level. In parts of their courses 

these rivers flow on the water-bearing formations.

47 Thompson, D. G., Ground-water supplies of the Atlantic City region: New Jersey Dept. Cons, and Devel. Bull. 30, pp. 27-30, 57, 113, 

1928, and unpublished data.
142 CONTRIBUTIONS TO HYDROLOGY, 1936

The ground-water level near the streams is generally about the same 

as the water level in the rivers, but during flood stages the rivers lose 

water to the formations and thereby cause the ground-water levels in adjacent areas to rise. Such fluctuations have been noted in a well at High 

Springs, in Alachua County; in a well at Branford, in Suwannee County; and 

in Palmouth Spring, near Palmouth, in Suwannee County.

Fluctuations caused by artificial drainage into wells

In areas where there is artificial drainage of surface water into 

wells the water levels in the other wells may rise several feet during and 

after periods of heavy rainfall. The record of a continuous water-level 

recorder on a well near Ocoee, in Orange County, shows the marked influence 

of drainage wells in that vicinity. Although no water entered the mouth of 

the recorder well, there was a rise in water level after each rain, and the 

maximum rise was about 6 feet, during a 3-day period. At Orlando, in Orange County, where there are numerous drainage wells, water levels in wells 

rise as much as 10 feet after periods of large rainfall. Figure 14 is a 

graph representing intermittent measurements of water levels showing fluctuations over a period of several years in a typical drainage well in Orlando .

Fluctuations caused by natural artesian flow or pumpage

In some of the irrigation districts, as in Sarasota, Manatee, and 

Seminole Counties, and some of the cities, such as Jacksonville, large 

fluctuations of water level are caused by variations in the draft from 

wells. Figure 15 shows the movement of the water level in well 9 in 

Sarasota County and illustrates typical fluctuations at certain times of 

the year when artesian water is being used for irrigation. During such 

times the head in the well fluctuates considerably because of the opening 

and closing of wells on farms within a radius of about 2 miles. In 1 day 

the water moved as much as 1 foot, and in a period of 3 weeks the maximum range in head was about 4 feet. Figure 16 shows the fluctuations 

in this well from October 1930 to March 1935.

A fluctuation of about 18 feet has been recorded on a well at the 

Water Works Park in Jacksonville (well 18, Duval County). That fluctuation is undoubtedly caused by changes in the rate of draft from the 

wells that furnish the public supply and possibly from nearby industrial 

wells. Well 9 in Sarasota County, mentioned above, is some distance from 

a discharging well. Obviously the fluctuations may be much larger in wells 

from which the water is being withdrawn.

Piezometric surface

The piezometric surface, or pressure-indicating surface, shown by 

means of contour lines on plate 12, represents the height to which artesian 

water would rise above mean sea level In 1934 in tightly cased wells that 

yield water from the Ocala or the Tampa limestone or in some localities 

from the lower part of the Hawthorn formation. Records of the wells are 

given on pages 165 to 189. The water in the Ocala and Tampa limestones 

and the lower part of the Hawthorn formation is under approximately the 

same pressure, but the water in the middle and upper parts of the Hawthorn formation has pressure heads that may be higher or lower than those 

in the underlying rock.

The high areas of the piezometrio surface in general indicate recharge, and the low areas indicate discharge. However, recharge may 

occur in some of the areas of relatively low pressure. The water moves 

from the higher to the lower areas of the piezometric surface and at 

right angles to the contour lines representing that surface.

The map of the piezometric surface is based chiefly on observations 

made in 1934 and shown in the tables at the back of the report. Some of 

the well records obtained in the north-central part of the peninsula by 

the United States Engineer office at Jacksonville are also included. The 

altitudes of the measuring points of some of the wells in Sarasota, Orange, 

and Seminole Counties and of the wells measured by the United States 

Engineer office were determined by instrumental leveling and are recorded 

in the table on pages 165 to 189 to the nearest tenth of a foot. The 

altitudes of the measuring points of the other wells were determined by 

means of surveying aneroids and are shown in the table only to the nearest foot. The limits of error were sufficiently small to permit a fairly 

correct representation of the major features of the piezometric surface.

Obviously because of fluctuations of the pressure head the position 

of the piezometric surface is changing almost constantly, and a representation of it at any one time shows only approximately the conditions 

at any other time. Nevertheless, the map represents the major features, 

which do not change except in details from time to time.

In the central and northern parts of the peninsula (figs. 17, 18) 

the piezometric surface is 90 feet or more above sea level, but in the 

Intervening saddle it is only about 40 to 50 feet above sea level. It 

slopes toward the Gulf coast to an altitude of about 2 to 10 feet and toward the Atlantic coast to an altitude of 10 to 50 feet. In the southern
ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 147

part of the peninsula it is relatively flat and ranges from only a few feet 

to about 50 feet above sea level.

For convenience in describing the piezometric surface the peninsula is 

divided into nine areas, each of which includes one or more of the major 

features. The general location of these areas is shown on the inset in

""Figure 17.- Profiles of piezometric surface across central Florida (A)

Polk County area

One of the most conspicuous features of the piezometric surface is 

in the central part of the peninsula, in Polk and adjacent counties, where 

this surface has the shape of an elongated dome, a large part of which Is 

90 to 120 feet above sea level. This dome extends northward into Marion 

County to an altitude of about 50 feet. It extends southward into the 

southern part of the peninsula, where it merges about 50 feet above sea 

level into a relatively flat part of the piezometric surface. The total 

north-south extent is about 150 miles. It extends to the Atlantic coast 

on the east, where it has an altitude of about 40 to 50 feet. On the west 

it extends to Tampa Bay, where it has an altitude of 10 to 20 feet. On 

the northwest it merges into a relatively small saddle and dome-shaped 

feature in Pasco County. The total east-west extent is about 120 miles. 

The piezometric surface in this area indicates local recharge of the 

water-bearing formations, largely in Polk County. It appears that some 

recharge may take place in the lake region in the northwestern part of 

Highlands County and the south-central part of Lake County and in the 

lake region of Orange County. The recharge through drainage wells at 

Orlando and in adjacent parts of Orange County is evident.

The Ocala and Tampa limestones are overlain in part of the Polk 

County recharge area by relatively impervious members of the Hawthorn 

formation. However, well records indicate that in parts of the area 

the Hawthorn formation is relatively thin or absent and pervious sands 

rest directly on the water-bearing formations. For example, the log of 

a well at Davenport (well 5, Polk County) indicates the presence of unconsolidated quartz sand to a depth of 110 feet. Phosphatic marl, 

probably representing the Hawthorn formation, occurs in the interval 

between 110 and 120 feet, below which is soft limestone of the Ocala. 

Under such conditions local recharge of the Ocala limestone may readily 

occur. Also within the area there are numerous lakes that probably 

occupy old sink holes now filled with sands that permit downward percolation of water. There are few surface streams in this area, and 

the rainfall drains into the numerous lakes and depressions, providing 

a large source of water for recharge.

Lateral movement of ground water takes place in all directions 

from the central part of the Polk County recharge area. It supplies 

the fresh artesian water of the Ocala, Tampa, and Hawthorn formations 

in the southern part of the peninsula and contributes artesian water 

to other adjacent areas.
ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 149 

Pasco County area

In a relatively small area in northeastern Pasco County, west of the 

Polk County area, the piezometric surface is about 80 feet or more above 

sea level. It slopes northward into Hernando County to an altitude of 

about 30 to 40 feet and westward to the Gulf of Mexico and southward to 

Tampa Bay to an altitude of about 10 feet. On the east it is bordered by 

a small saddle about 60 to 70 feet above sea level. In most of the area 

the Tampa limestone is at or near the surface and permits ground-water 

recharge. The Hawthorn formation with relatively impervious material 

overlies the Tampa limestone in northeastern Pasco County, where the 

piezometric surface is 80 feet or more above sea level. However, within 

that area there are sink holes and lakes occupying sink holes through 

which recharge may take place, accounting in part for the high water 

levels. The geology, topography, and ground-water conditions in some 

respects are comparable to those of the Polk County area.

Lateral movement of the ground water takes place in all directions 

from the central part of the recharge area. This recharge area furnishes 

fresh ground water in the Tampa and Ocala formations in most of Pasco 

County, parts of Hernando and Pinellas Counties, and the northwestern 

part of Hillsborough County.

The water in well 11, Pasco County, in sec. 16, T. 25 S., R. 21 E., 

stands 190 feet above sea level and 120 feet above the piezometric surface in that locality. This well, however, taps ground water in the 

Hawthorn formation, and the water level is not part of the piezometric 

surface.

Putnam County area

In the northwestern part of Putnam County and the adjacent parts 

of Clay, Bradford, Baker, and Alachua Counties the piezometric surface 

is about 50 to 90 feet above sea level. On the north, in Bradford and 

Clay Counties, it forms a ridge 70 to 80 feet above sea level and extends at that altitude into Georgia. On the east it slopes to the 

Atlantic Ocean to an altitude of about 30 to 50 feet. On the south it 

merges into a broad saddle about 40 to 50 feet above sea level in Marion County. On the west it forms a broad area in Alachua County about 

40 to 50 feet above sea level. It also extends to the Suwannee River 

Valley, where it ranges from a few feet to about 50 feet above sea level.
150 CONTRIBUTIONS TO HYDROLOGY, 1936

The artesian formations are not exposed where the plezometrlo surface 

hag an altitude of 70 to 90 feet, but typical sink-hole topography affords 

conditions favorable for recharge. In the southern and western parts of 

the area recharge takes place through sink holes or directly Into the Ocala 

and Tampa limestones where they are present at or near the surface.

In Baker County, In the northern part of the area, although the plezometrlc surface of the water In the Ocala limestone may be 70 feet or more 

above sea level, no recharge of the Ocala takes place locally because it 

is overlain by relatively impervious beds of the Hawthorn formation. However, water is supplied through a recharge area in Georgia.

Well 1 In Baker County is the only well reported In that county that 

probably penetrates the Ocala limestone. The other wells reported terminate in the middle and upper parts of the Hawthorn formation, and in parts 

of this area the water levels in such wells will rise higher than water 

levels in wells penetrating the Ocala. In parts of Duval and Nassau 

Counties, however, the pressure head of the artesian water of the Hawthorn 

formation is less than that of the Ocala.

In Jacksonville and vicinity, in Duval County, the piezometric surface 

has the shape of an inverted cone about 6 miles in diameter and 30 feet 

deep. The apex of the cone is in the vicinity of Water Works Park in Jacksonville and is about 30 feet above sea level. This was described in a 

manuscript prepared in 1927 by Malcolm Pirnie, consulting engineer, who 

made a careful study of artesian conditions for the city of Jacksonville. 

This cone of depression doubtless is caused in part by the draft from 

wells in that vicinity, estimated to be about 20 million gallons a day.

At Green Cove Springs and vicinity, in Clay County, a small local 

depression carries the piezometric surface to about 30 to 40 feet above 

sea level. The draft from wells in this area is relatively small and appears to be insufficient to cause the depression, which may be due in 

part to subsurface leakage from wells. The flow of Green Cove Springs 

doubtless affects the head of water in the Hawthorn formation in the 

vicinity of the springs, but it probably does not affect the head in 

the underlying Ocala limestone.

In the southern part of the Putnam County area the water in the 

Ocala and Tampa limestones moves laterally from the recharge area into 

Putnam, Alachua, Marion, Clay, and Bradford Counties. In the northern 

part of the area some of the water moves to the east and southeast, into 

Nassau and Duval Counties, and some of it moves to the west, toward the 

Suwannee River.

ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 151

The hydraulic gradient in the eastern part of Nassau and Duval Counties 

is relatively low, but the piezometric surface is 55 to 60 feet above sea 

level. Such conditions might be expected because in that area the Ocala. 

limestone is overlain by about 500 feet of the Hawthorn formation with 

relatively impervious members, and the submarine outcrop of the Ocala is 

probably as much as 70 miles off the coast.

Marion County area

In Marion County the piezometric surface forms a broad saddle, about 

40 to 50 feet above sea level, between the Putnam County area on the north 

and the Polk County area on the south. In this area the Ocala limestone 

is at or near the surface, and sink holes are well developed, affording 

favorable conditions for recharge. Large recharge doubtless takes place, 

and the area also receives some water from the Polk County and Putnam 

County areas. The limestone in this area is porous and in part cavernous, 

and the water may move freely through it. During and after periods of 

large rainfall part of the saddle is as much as 10 feet higher than in 

normal times. Under such conditions the 50-foot contour lines, instead 

of closing on the north and south side of the saddle, as mapped in plate 

12, will extend along the east and west parts of the saddle and connect 

the Polk County area with the Putnam County area.

This is also an area of very large discharge. It furnishes water for 

Silver Springs and Blue Springs (pis. 13, A, and 14, A), two of the largest

springs in the State. The discharge of these springs, with a combined

50

maximum flow of about 2,000 second-feet, or about 896,000 gallons a minute, in part causes the saddle in the piezometric surface. Part of the 

ground water from the Marion County area flows eastward into the eastern 

part of Marion County, and part of it flows westward into Levy and Citrus 

Counties.

Volusia County area

One of the most extensive low-pressure areas in the peninsula is in 

Volusia and Plagler Counties and parts of the adjacent counties, where 

the piezometric surface is only about 10 to 20 feet above sea level. This 

low pressure is caused in part by the discharge of ground water through 

springs in the St. Johns River Valley and submarine discharge through 

springs and outcrops in the Atlantic Ocean. One of these submarine

50 Discharge measurement made by D. S. Wallace, district engineer,

springs is about 2-J miles offshore east of Crescent Beach. A similar 

spring is reported near Port Orange, which lies just south of Daytona 

Beach, in Volusia County. A large spring is reported about 16 miles off 

the coast east of a point about midway between Coronado Beach, in Volusia 

County, and Canaveral, in Brevard County.

Extending from the southeastern part of Putnam County into the northwestern part of Volusia County is a long, narrow district between the St. 

Johns River Valley and Crescent Lake in which the piezometric surface is 

from 20 to 30 feet above sea level. Sink holes and lakes occupying old 

sink holes afford opportunity for recharge, which accounts in part for 

this ridge in the piezometric surface. There is a similar area, including 

De Land, Orange City, and Lake Helen, in the southwestern part of Volusia 

County east of the St. Johns Valley, but the piezometric surface in that 

area lies in the interval between 10 and 20 feet above sea level and is 

not shown by a contour line.

HillsborouKh County area

The piezometric surface in Hillsborough County ranges from less 

than 10 feet to more than 50 feet above sea level. At Port Tampa (see 

well 16, p. 168) it is only about 3 feet above sea level. Prom Tampa 

and vicinity northeastward to Pasco County the piezometric surface has 

the shape of a valley that heads in a saddle in Pasco County and lies 

between the Pasco County and Polk County areas. This valley is caused 

in part by leakage of artesian water through springs in the outcrops of 

the Tampa limestone along the valley of the Hillsborough River. The 

largest of these springs is Sulphur Spring, near Tampa, and one of the 

best known of the smaller ones is Crystal Springs, near the town of 

Crystal Springs.

Citrus County area

In Citrus County and adjacent parts of Hernando and Levy Counties 

the piezometric surface slopes from an altitude of about 40 feet in the 

eastern part of the area to less than 5 feet in the western part, on 

the Gulf coast. The artesian water in this area is supplied in part from 

the Marion County, Polk County, and Pasco County areas. The Ocala limestone or the Tampa limestone is at or near the surface, and sink holes 

are well developed, especially in Citrus County, facilitating local recharge. The Ocala limestone is porous and even cavernous and thus per-
ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 153

mits fairly free movement of the water. The general direction of movement 

is toward the west, and most of this water appears as springs on the west 

coast.

The alinement of some of the sink holes in Citrus County is in an 

east-west direction, indicating the course of some of the underground 

streams. Such an alinement might be expected, because the contours representing the piezometric surface indicate movement of the ground water 

toward the west. In the northern part of Citrus County, along the Withlacoochee River, the ground-water level during normal stages is about the 

same as the water level in the river. During flood stages the river may 

lose water to the Ocala limestone.

Suwannee River area

The piezometric surface forms a valley along the Suwannee River, and 

the ground-water level in the bottom of the valley is generally about the 

same as the water level in the river. The piezometric surface slopes from 

about 50 or 60 feet above sea level near the State line on the north to 

less than 10 feet above sea level on the Gulf of Mexico. On both sides of 

the valley it rises to 50 feet or more above sea level. The gradient on 

the east side, however, is lower than that on the west.

The Ocala and Tampa limestones are present at the surface in this 

area and thus receive recharge. During low stages of the Suwannee River 

its flow is largely derived from ground water, but during flood stages 

it loses water to the formations. These relations between surface water 

and ground water also exist along the lower course of the Santa Pe River, 

a tributary of the Suwannee.

Near Palmouth, in Suwannee County about 3 miles east of the Suwannee 

River, a small section of the roof of an underground stream has collapsed, 

and the stream is exposed at the surface. It is known as Palmouth Spring. 

During normal stages of the Suwannee River the water level of Palmouth 

Spring is a few feet higher than the river and water from the spring flows 

westward to the river. However, during flood stages the river is somewhat higher than the spring and contributes water to the underground 

stream and the flow of Palmouth Spring is reversed.

Southern Florida

The piezometric surface in southern Florida ranges from a few feet 

to about 50 feet above sea level. In most of the area it is relatively 

flat and more than 30 feet above sea level. In the southern part of the 

area only a Sew wells penetrate the lower part of the Hawthorn formation 

and the underlying rocks, and therefore only a few control points are 

available to represent the piezometric surface. According to records of 

wells 1, 2, and 3 on the Florida Keys, in Monroe County (p. 183), the 

piezometric surface is approximately at sea level in that area. Records 

of wells 1 and 2 at Miami, in Dade County, indicate that the piezometric 

surface is there 40 feet or more above sea level. It thus appears to 

slope southward toward the Florida Keys.

The artesian water-bearing formations are deeply buried in this area, 

and. no recharge takes place locally. Fresh water enters the formations in 

the Polk County area, but the low hydraulic gradient indicates that there 

is slight movement of artesian water toward the south. The ocean floor 

is more than 2,000 feet below sea level about 20 to 30 miles off the coast 

in the Straits of Florida, and therefore it appears likely that the formations have submarine outcrops within that distance offshore. The artesian 

pressure in part of the area appears sufficient to overcome back pressure 

from the salt water on the submarine outcrops, and some artesian water is 

escaping through them. The low pressure in the wells on the Florida Keys 

might be suggested as an indication of leakage through outcrops in the 

Straits of Florida, but this appears unlikely, because the pressure is not 

sufficient to displace the salt water at the submarine outcrops. Such low 

pressures will permit encroachment of sea water in the area if the formations are sufficiently permeable, and the high salinity of the water in 

wells on the Florida Keys may be attributed to sea water.

Information regarding the casing in the wells on the Keys is meager, 

and it is entirely possible that if the casing is insufficient subsurface 

leakage may occur. Under these conditions the head in the wells may be 

reduced approximately to sea level. On the other hand, the Florida Keys 

are at a considerable distance from the recharge area of the artesian 

formations. The formations appear to become thicker and less permeable 

toward the south, and although the general direction of movement of the 

ground water is southward some of it moves to the east and west, and 

smaller amounts of this water reach the Florida Keys.
ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 155 

Springs

Most of the large springs of the peninsula yield water under artesian 

pressure from the Ocala and Tampa limestones and are situated in parts of 

the northern half of the peninsula where these formations are at or near 

the surface. The Hawthorn formation is the source of a few of the large, 

springs, such as Rock Spring, in Orange County, and of numerous smaller 

springs. In the northeastern and southern parts of the peninsula, where 

the formations are deeply buried, no large springs are present. The following list represents the largest springs in the peninsula, and plate 15 

shows their distribution. The discharge measurements have been furnished 

by D. S. Wallace, of the United States Geological Survey. Among the various reports that contain data on the springs of Florida, a paper by

51 

Meinzer includes a description of some of the large springs.

MAP OF FLORIDA PENINSULA REPRESENTING LOCATION OF LARGE SPRINGS.
ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 157

The two springs with, the largest discharge are Silver Springs and Blue 

Springs, in Marion County. (See pis. 13, A, and 14, A.) Rock Spring, in 

Orange County, is one of the few large springs with an outlet of the underground stream in part above the water level. Most of the large springs 

emerge more or less vertically as boils out of deep pools. One of the 

deepest of these pools is that of Weekewachee Spring, in Hernando County, 

which, according to measurements made by D. G. Thompson and the writer, 

has a depth of about 145 feet. (See pi. 14, B.)

Submarine springs are reported to be present off the coast east of 

the Volusia County area. One of them is about 2-|- miles east of Crescent

Beach. The location of this spring and the depth of water in it have

52 

been charted. This spring has been described by A. M. Sobieralski, of

53 

the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. It was visited by the writer in

1934. The ocean floor at the spring is about 55 feet below sea level, 

and the bottom of the spring is as much as 125 feet below sea level. The 

spring has sufficient pressure and discharge to be noticeable at the surface of the ocean. The water, like much of the artesian water in Florida, 

contains hydrogen sulphide. According to the appearance of the discharge 

at sea level the orifice of the spring may be as much as 200 feet in 

diameter. No discharge measurements were made, but the discharge may be

comparable to that of some of the larger springs in the peninsula. Thia

54 

spring is probably the same as that referred to by Matson and Sanford.

Wells

General features

Records of representative artesian wells in various parts of the 

peninsula are shown in the table on pages 165 to 189, which also includes a few records of wells representing water-table conditions. The 

areas in which the artesian wells will flow under natural pressure are 

shown in plate 10, and the height to which the water will rise in tightly 

cased wells is shown on plate 12 and in the tables. The artesian wells 

range from about 50 feet to more than 1,000 feet in depth, depending on 

the local conditions within the area in which they are constructed. The 

wells range from about 2 inches to more than 12 inches in diameter. Few

of the wells are entirely cased, and the casing usually terminates in the 

top of the first consolidated limestone penetrated. Some wells as much 

as 1,000 feet deep may have only about 100 feet of casing. Generally the 

wells are equipped with valves, so that the flow can be controlled or 

shut off. However, a few wells are not equipped with valves and permit 

continuous waste of water. (See pi. 13, B.)

Most of the artesian wells are within the areas in which the wells 

flow, and the greatest concentrations are in irrigation districts, as in 

Sarasota, Manatee, and Seminole Counties. In parts of the irrigation 

districts in Seminole County there is an average of one or more wells 

for each acre of land irrigated. In some of the larger cities, such as 

Jacksonville, wells are numerous. There are also a large number of nonflowing artesian wells used for surface drainage in and near Orlando, in 

Orange County. A few of the flowing artesian wells are used for drainage 

on the east coast.

The capacity of the wells depends on the hydrologic conditions and 

the construction of the wells. In general the wells with the smallest

capacities are in the southern part of the peninsula. In Sarasota

55 

County some of the deeper wells that penetrate the Hawthorn formation,

the Tampa limestone, and the Ocala limestone yield little or no water 

from the Tampa and Ocala, the artesian formations that yield large supplies of water to wells except in the southern part of the peninsula.

The yield of flowing artesian wells under natural flow ranges from 

a few gallons to more than 1,000 gallons a minute. The largest yields 

by natural flow are in the eastern and northeastern parts of the peninsula, where the artesian pressure is relatively large and the surface 

of the ground is only a few feet above sea level. One of the largest 

yields observed was about 2,000 gallons a minute from a well 8 inches 

in diameter at Crescent Beach (well 20, St. Johns County). The largest 

reported yield by natural flow is 6,200 gallons a minute from well 2 in 

Brevard County, a 12-inch well.

When wells are flowing under natural artesian pressure, the pressure at the mouth of the well is almost zero, so that the draw-down, or 

loss in head resulting from the discharge of water, is almost equal to 

the head with reference to the outlet of the well. Such temporary loss 

in head for different flowing wells in different parts of the peninsula

55 Stringfield, V. T., Exploration of artesian wells in Sarasota 

County, Florida: Florida Geol. Survey 23d-24th Ann. Rept., pp. 202-214, 

220, 1933.
ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 159

has been observed to range from a fraction of a foot to about 45 feet. 

Obviously, the maximum loss of head in a flowing well is limited to the 

shut-in head. The results of the losses of head may be expressed in terms 

of specific capacity, which is the number of gallons discharged per unit 

loss of head. The specific capacity is significant for comparison of yield 

of different wells and for determining the loss of head that will result if 

the yield of the well is increased by pumping. Data regarding the specific 

capacities of a few wells for which calculations could be made are shown in 

the following table:

160 CONTRIBUTIONS TO HYDROLOGY, 1936

The largest yield recorded from a nonflowing well in the peninsula is 

7,500 gallons a minute from well 38 in Polk County. The discharge measurement was made in 1926 by the American Agricultural Chemical Co 0

Subsurface leakage of wells

Pew of the artesian wells in the peninsula are completely cased, and 

in many of them the uncased parts extend through water-bearing beds at several horizons. Under such conditions water entering the well from beds 

with relatively high artesian pressure may escape into beds with lower 

pressure instead of rising to the surface or remaining confined in the well.

The artesian pressure of the water in the middle and upper parts of 

the Hawthorn formation in different localities may be higher or lower than 

the artesian pressure of water in the underlying part of the Hawthorn and 

the Tampa and Ocala limestones. Wells penetrating these formations may 

have subsurface leakage unless they are properly cased.

In Baker County and elsewhere in the northern part of the peninsula 

the artesian head of the middle and upper parts of the Hawthorn formation 

is higher than that in the lower part and the underlying Ocala limestone. 

Wells drilled into the Ocala in that area should therefore be cased to 

prevent leakage from the upper beds into the lower beds. East of that 

area, in Duval and Nassau Counties, and in most of the other parts of the 

peninsula where the Hawthorn formation is present the pressure in the Hawthorn formation is less than that in the underlying limestones, and subsurface leakage in wells may occur by loss of water to the Hawthorn formation. The observed difference in head ranges in different parts of the 

peninsula from a fraction of a foot to as much as 40 feet.

Exploration of artesian wells in the northwestern part of Sarasota

56

County revealed no underground leakage in wells in that locality. However, it is entirely possible that some leakage had taken place but that 

the pressure of the beds at the two horizons was at equilibrium at the 

time the tests were made.

Well data collected subsequent to that work indicate that underground 

leakage occurs in other localities. On the west coast of Manatee County 

wells that will flow are reported to have been nonflowing during construction, before their upper parts were cased.

56 Stringfield, V. T., Exploration of artesian wells in Sarasota 

County, Florida: Florida Geol. Survey 23d-24th Ann. Rept., pp. 199-216, 

1933.
ARTESIAN WATER IN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA 161

Near Sun City, in the southwestern part of Hillsborough County, a well 

340 feet deep was reported to be nonflowing until well 14 at Sun City, 550 

feet deep, with only 42 feet of casing, was constructed, thus indicating 

that part of the water from the rocks penetrated by well 14 that normally 

would rise to the surface through that well enters the rocks penetrated by 

the 340-foot well.

A well in the town of Green Cove Springs (well 14, Clay County) is 

reported to have had a pressure head of about 21 feet above the surface 

of the ground in 1927, when it was constructed. In 1934 it had a reported 

pressure head of 1.5 feet above the surface of the ground, or about 24 

feet above sea level. Other wells observed in that vicinity had pressure 

heads of about 40 feet above sea level. Even though well 14 is reported 

to be cased to a depth of about 400 feet below the surface, the loss of 

head in that well may be caused by leakage through defective casing. Although the loss of head may be attributed to other causes, the inference 

of underground leakage is substantiated to some extent by the reports 

that the water level in this well is influenced by fluctuations in Green 

Cove Springs, a few hundred yards to the east. The water of Green Cove 

Springs comes from a relatively shallow source and should not influence 

the water level in a well cased to a depth of 400 feet unless there is 

some defect in the casing.

Surface drainage into wells

In some parts of the lake region and other localities where the surface drainage is poorly developed and the ground water stands several feet 

be-low the surface in wells, surface water is drained into wells constructed 

for that purpose. The drainage wells are located in sink holes or other 

depressions, along margins of lakes, or in ditches, in order that the 

mouths of the wells will be lower than the area drained. Probably the 

largest number of drainage wells is in and near Orlando, in Orange County, 

where more than 120 wells penetrating the Ocala limestone are in use for 

drainage. About 90 of the wells are owned by the city of Orlando, and 

practically all the sewage and run-off from rainfall in the city is disposed of through drainage wells. About 30 wells are owned and operated 

by the highway department of Orange County for drainage of roads in the 

county. The wells range from about 6 to 16 inches in diameter and from 

about 160 feet to more than 800 feet in depth. In parts of Orange County 

the static water levels representing the piezometric surface of the water
162 CONTRIBUTIONS TO HYDROLOGY, 1936

in the Ocala limestone, as measured in wells, range from a few feet to as 

much, as 60 feet below the surface of the ground. The estimated drainage 

capacities of the wells range from less than 100 gallons to several thousand gallons a minute. The maximum capacity reported was 9,500 gallons a 

minute for well 50 (county well 16), about 4 miles northeast of Orlovista. 

The effect of recharge through drainage wells in Orange County has been

described above. Notes on drainage wells in the peninsula are included

57 

in several reports.

Areas of highly mineralized water and their relation 

to the piezometric surface

Numerous field determinations of the chloride content of ground

water, both artesian and nonartesian water, were made during the inves58 

tigation. On the basis of these tests together with many published

and a few unpublished analyses of water, the general areal extent of 

relatively highly mineralized ground water was outlined. According to 

the records of deep wells it appears that salt water underlies the entire peninsula. However, it is confined to rocks of great depths except 

in certain coastal areas and in the southern part of the State. The 

areas in which the chloride content of the water is more than about 100 

parts per million at relatively moderate depths are represented in 

plate 16. The area on the east coast includes part of St. Johns County 

and extends from that county to the southern part of the peninsula and 

as far inland as the eastern parts of Marion, Lake, and Seminole Counties, including part of the valley of the St. Johns River.

Salt Spring, in Marion County, one of the larger springs in the 

peninsula, yields salt water. There are other small salt-water springs 

along the valley of the St. Johns River. As may be noted on plate 16, 

there are within this area two districts in which the ground water at 

moderate depth is low in chloride content. One extends as a narrow 

strip from southeastern Putnam County into northwestern Volusia County 

between the valley of the St. Johns River and Crescent Lake. The other 

is in the southwestern part of Volusia County, east of the St. Johns

River Valley. These are within local areas In which the piezometric surface IB relatively high.

The area of relatively highly mineralized water extends through the 

southern part of the State and occupies a narrow belt on the west coast. 

Fortunately the shallow water In most of the Florida peninsula has relatively low mineral content, and with careful development water supplies 

suitable for public and private consumption have been obtained and may 

be obtained in the future from that source.

Certain general relations between salt and fresh water in coastal

69 

areas are known and have been summarized by Brown. The general rela60

tions in Sarasota County have been described by the writer. The principle of equilibrium between salt and fresh water as applied to the

hydrology of seacoasts is sometimes referred to as the "theory of Ghyben

61 t

and Herzberg" and may be expressed by the formula h s £?[ , in which

h is the depth of fresh water below sea level, t_ is the height of fresh 

water or hydrostatic head above sea level, and g Is the specific gravity 

of the salt water. The specific gravity of sea water varies somewhat 

from one locality to another and may also be different at different 

depths. Where the specific gravity of the sea water is 1.025 the fresh 

water will extend 40 feet below sea level for every foot that the ground 

water stands above sea level. This theory is applicable in a general 

way to the artesian conditions in the Florida peninsula. In the central 

part of the peninsula, where the pressure is high, the salt water occurs 

only at great depths, but in the coastal areas, where the pressure is 

low, salt water is present at shallow or moderate depths. This general 

relation Is also present locally, as in Putnam and Volusla Counties, 

where water of relatively low mineral content is found In an area where 

the piezometrlc surface is high, and highly mineralized water is found 

in adjacent areas of low pressure head.

In several of the coastal areas where highly mineralized water is 

present, the pressure of the artesian water is sufficient to cause the 

water to discharge through submarine springs, and no encroachment of sea 

water is now occurring, but encroachment may occur If a sufficient lowering of pressure takes place.

A well at Titusville, in Brevard County, is reported to have penetrated a thin bed of salt at a depth of about 50 feet below the surface. 

Although this is the only record of the presence of salt that has been 

reported, it appears likely that salt as thin beds or disseminated in the 

materials penetrated might escape notice. Salt water resembling sea water

in composition but more than twice as concentrated as sea water was pene63 

trated at moderate depth in Manatee County. Under these conditions

the contamination of the artesian water must be caused by the presence 

of salt water or mineral salts within the formation, and thus the flushing action of the artesian water is one of the controlling factors in 

the present distribution of the highly mineralized water.
