| Altitude of the base of the gray
limestone aquifer, southern Florida, 1998, WRIR 99-4213 figure 15 |
| Abstract: |
The base of the gray limestone aquifer is shallowest in Collier and
Hendry Counties and slopes to the southeast and east. The altitude
of the base of the aquifer generally ranges from 50 to 160 ft below
sea level, but the basal surface can be comparatively irregular in
some areas. This is apparent in northwestern to central Collier County
where the base of the aquifer is as shallow as 7 ft below sea level
in well C-1090 and extends to a depth of 125 ft below sea level in
well C-1178. The base of the aquifer lies at a maximum depth of 205
ft below sea level in southeastern Miami-Dade County. An irregularly
shaped anticline on the top of the gray limestone aquifer extends
across southwestern Palm Beach, northwestern Broward, and southern
Hendry Counties with an altitude as high as 20 ft below sea level.
On the base of the aquifer, a syncline is present in some of the same
area occupied by this anticline. |
