Ground water in Osceola County, Florida

Water-supply potential of the Floridan aquifer in Osceola, eastern Orange, and southwestern Brevard counties, Florida

“…Lichtler (1972) appraised the water resources of seven counties in east-central Florida that included the report area; Snell and Anderson (1970) discussed the water resources of the St. Johns River basin; Brown andothers (1962a, 1962b) discussed and presented an intensive data reconnaissance of Brevard County; and Frazee (1980) presented reconnaissance ground-water information on Osceola County. Potentiometric surface maps of the Floridan aquifer, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey, are available for annual high and low water conditions for 1965 through 1980.…”

“…The latest information is a reconnaissance map based on 32 control points for the entire county (Frazee, 1980). Figure 13 shows an area in central Osceola County where chloride concentrations exceed 200 mg/L.…”
