Description: This map represents reported sinkhole events in Hernando County from data gathered by the Florida Geological Survey (FGS) and the Florida Sinkhole Research Institute (FSRI) between 1948 and 2007. "This dataset represents a set of points for reported sinkhole events. The data herein represents reported sinkhole activity but may also contain non-karst related subsidence such as collapsed septic systems, water mains, and/or other man-made features. This information contained in this dataset is primarily used to more fully understand the unique relationship between karst and the state's groundwater resources and aquifer systems." DATA DISCLAIMER This geologic data was developed to carry out agency responsibilities related to management, protection, and development of Florida's natural resources. Neither FDEP/FGS or the Florida Center for Instructional Technology assumes any responsibility for the consequences of inappropriate uses or interpretations of the data.
