Thickness of the Gray Limestone Aquifer, Southern Florida, 1998, WRIR 99-4213 figure 16
Abstract: The thickness of the gray limestone aquifer generally ranges from 30 to 100 ft. The thickness of the unnamed formation included within the aquifer at its base ranges from 1 to 20 ft in seven test wells where it is present. The aquifer is thickest in southwestern Palm Beach, northwestern Broward, and southern Hendry Counties where it ranges from 100 to as much as 130 ft thick. Local areas of similar thickness are found in western and southeastern Collier in delineation of water-bearing and less-permeable hydrogeologic units. County and northern Miami-Dade County. Many of the areas where the aquifer is thick correspond to where the altitude of the base of the aquifer is low, such as in southern Hendry County, northwestern Broward County, and parts of western Collier County.
