North Florida Aquifer Replenishment Initiative is moving forward
A cooperative initiative by the Suwannee River Water Management District (SRWMD) and St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) is under way to enhance regional water levels by capturing significant quantities of water to recharge the Upper Floridan aquifer at strategic locations.
The districts recently hired a contractor to develop four conceptual regional recharge projects to replenish the Upper Floridan aquifer. This study is one element of the larger aquifer replenishment initiative. Potential sources of recharge water include reclaimed water and surface water within both districts.
“Aquifer replenishment strategies in north Florida will provide important water resource benefits to help ensure sustainable water supplies for our communities,” said Ann B. Shortelle, Ph.D, Executive Director of the Suwannee River Water Management District.
The contractor has completed the first task that included summarizing the hydrogeologic data, examining potential sources of water to recharge the Upper Floridan aquifer and identifying water quality treatment requirements for the ranges of reclaimed water sources and surface water sources.
The study area generally consists of the northeastern portion of SRWMD and the northernmost counties in SJRWMD.
The next task will involve evaluating hydrologic and hydrogeologic data, developing aquifer recharge conceptual project designs and modeling the conceptual projects. The final task involves producing a feasibility report that includes cost estimates for each of the recharge project concepts and developing an implementation schedule.

I really do wish folks would read carefully the above notice of what is going on in our water management district. George Orwell himself, would be proud of the crap being put out by these folks with PHD’s attached to their names.
Do you want to know what they are really saying in this notice? In plain english, they are saying you are screwed! Too many commitments have been made for the water in the aquifer which your pump accesses to give you drinking water and flush your toilet. Further if we don’t get lots of rain, your well is going to go dry! Seriously, these folks have over committed our aquifer. Think “Bird song’”, and what ever that company that has a big well snuck into Blue Springs.
But there is hope! “The next task will involve evaluating hydrologic and hydrogeologic data, developing aquifer recharge conceptual project designs and modeling the conceptual projects. The final task involves producing a feasibility report that includes cost estimates for each of the recharge project concepts and developing an implementation schedule.”
How many of you understand this BS? What they are saying is that they are going to spend your tax payer money to do studies that show you were too stupid to understand why you let these crooks steal your most important resource, Water.
All of the folks making these decisions are your friends and neighbors. If there is a god in heaven, they will be shovelng sh.t in hell, as you die of lack of water.
Yup, you think this is a crap post, by some nut. That may be so, but trust me, I have been following this sort of crap all my life, big companies are going to steal your resources and blame you for being too stupid to see what was going on.
