Title: Areas of Potential for Contamination due to Interconnected Aquifer Wells in West Central Florida

| | Description: This map from the U. S. Geological Survey Water Resources Investigation Report number 96-4030, Potential for Water-Quality Degradation of Interconnected Aquifers in West-Central Florida, shows the areas in west-central Florida where there is potential for water contamination due to interconnected aquifer wells. The map shows plugged well locations and the approximate boundary of the intermediate aquifer system in the region. Thousands of deep artesian wells were drilled into the Upper Floridan aquifer in west-central Florida prior to well-drilling regulations, and were left open to multiple aquifers containing water of varying quality. These open boreholes serve as a potential source of water quality degradation. The map scale is 1:500,000.
