“…Major land use types common in the region include upland forest, wetlands, rangeland, pasture, citrus (including row crop and sugarcane), light urban (mainly low density residential), and heavy urban (medium and high density residential, commercial and industrial lands, and transportation). The hydrological behavior of these land use types was established as a priori knowledge based on extensive monitoring data and field observation (Knisel et al, 1978;Capece et al, 1987;Campbell et al, 1995;Pathak, 2008;Duever and Roberts, 2013), and land use specific hydrological modeling (Abtew and Obeyesekera, 1996;SFWMD, 2005a;Wan et al, 2006;Obeysekera et al, 2011). For example, with an average annual rainfall of 1400 mm/y, about 300 mm/y of runoff is expected from upland forest where the water table seldom exceeds the land surface.…”
