Trends in water-table altitude (1984-93) and saltwater intrusion (1974-93) in the Biscayne Aquifer, Dade County, Florida

Hydrologic conditions in urban Miami-Dade County, Florida, and the effect of groundwater pumpage and increased sea level on canal leakage and regional groundwater flow

“…Representative publications describing the evolution and flow characteristics of the surface-water system in Miami-Dade County include Sherwood and Leach (1962), Leach and Sherwood (1963), Kohout and Leach (1964), Leach and Grantham (1966), Leach and others (1972), Meyer (1972), and Cooper and Lane (1987). Representative publications describing the Biscayne aquifer in Miami-Dade County, many of which focus on aquifer response to groundwater pumpage and its effect on seawater intrusion, include Brown and Parker (1945), Parker (1945), Parker (1951), Parker and others (1955), Klein (1957), Schroeder and others (1958), Cooper (1959), Kohout (1960a, b;1961a, b), Kohout and Hoy (1963), Kohout (1964), Kohout and Klein (1967), Kohout and Kolipinski (1967), Hull and Meyer (1973), Klein and Waller (1985), Klein and Ratzlaff (1989), Fish and Stewart (1991), Sonenshein and Koszalka (1996), and Sonenshein (1997). Recently, cyclostratigraphic and (or) geophysical methods have been used to develop a more detailed, stratigraphic understanding of Biscayne aquifer heterogeneity and are summarized in Cunningham and others (2001Cunningham and others ( , 2004Cunningham and others ( , 2006Cunningham and others ( , 2009), Hickey and others (2010), and Cunningham and Sukop (2011).…”

“…Initial water levels for the three model layers were specified by interpolating water levels from a water-table map for November 1993 (Sonenshein and Koszalka, 1996) to cell centers for every model grid cell. Initial surfacewater stages were developed for each SWR1 reach using observed headwater stage data for primary structures in the study area on January 1, 1996.…”

Ground water in freshwater-saltwater environments of the Atlantic Coast

“…It is best if the wells are installed with short screens so that chloride concentrations and water levels accurately represent saltwater conditions for a very small volume of the aquifer (Reilly, 1993). Moreover, long-screened wells (or open intervals along a well (Sonenshein and Koszalka, 1996). Monitoring of water levels and chloride concentrations in the Biscayne aquifer is being done collaboratively by Federal, State, and local agencies.…”

“…Data from Sonenshein and Koszalka (1996) and Prinos and Overton (2000) G Monitoring of the freshwater-saltwater interface has been done primarily by manual collection of water samples from ground-water monitoring wells. Recently, an automated system called Robowell was developed to provide real-time measurement of changing groundwater levels and water-quality conditions at a monitoring location without the need for an onsite operator (Granato and Smith, 2002).…”

“…Other studies that deal specifically with saltwater intrusion in southeastern Florida include: Parker and others (1944), Brown and Parker (1945), Parker (1945), Hoy and others (1951), Hoy (1952), Kohout and Hoy (1953), Parker and others (1955), Klein (1957), Kohout (1960a;1960b;1961a;1961b;1967), Klein (1965), Leach and Grantham (1966), Rodis (1973), Land and others (1973), Land (1975), Segol and Pinder (1976), Scott and others (1977), Swayze (1980a;1980b;1980c;1980d), Klein and Waller (1985), Sonntag (1987), Klein and Ratzlaff (1989), Sonenshein and Koszalka (1996), Technos, Inc.
