Summary

Abstract: Contours of the base of the surficial aquifer system are shown on this map. The base of the aquifer system occurs at a relatively uniform elevation of 180 to 220 ft. below sea level over most of Dade County. The contour interval is 20 feet.

Southeastern Florida is underlain by geologic units of varying permeability from land surface to depths between 150 and 400 ft. These units form ...
