- WATER SUPPLY AND QUALITY -

We found out about the saltwater intrusion in our area and the extent of saltwater intrusion in the entire state of Florida through the survey & studies made by USGS/SFWMD at NoRock.Org. We also found out the severe drought and flooding that is getting worse every year due to human encroacment and effects of cement pavings, etc. -rain water has nowhere to percolate down into the ground. Let's review what we learned about our critical water supply.
