The Floridan aquifer system, composed of the Upper and Lower Floridan aquifers, is a sequence of Paleogene carbonate rock which spans an area of about 100,000 square miles (260,000 km 2) in the southeastern United States. It underlies the entire state of Florida and parts of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina. [1]

2021年3月8日 · The Floridan aquifer system (FAS) is one of the most productive aquifers in the world. It underlies an area of approximately 100,000 square miles beneath all of Florida and parts of southeastern Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina.

2024年12月13日 · Florida has all three types of aquifers in various combinations throughout the state. The Floridan aquifer system (FAS), which underlies all of Florida, is the main source of potable groundwater for much of the state. However, in the extreme western Panhandle and in South Florida, the FAS is either too deep or contains water of higher salinity.

The Floridan aquifer system is a principal aquifer of the United States and is one of the most productive aquifers in the world. It covers approximately 100,000 square miles of the southeastern United States including all of Florida and parts of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina; however, the FAS in Mississippi is not used due ...

2020年7月28日 · Stretching beneath most of Florida the Floridan aquifer is the largest and deepest in the state, and reaches into parts of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina. It is an...

Groundwater is essential for domestic supplies, agriculture, and industry in the Floridan aquifer system (FAS) in Florida and parts of Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.

2020年4月9日 · A map of four major aquifer systems in the state of Florida at land surface. The Floridan Aquifer (in blue) underlies the entire state, but in areas north and east of Tampa it is found at the surface.

The Upper Floridan aquifer is the primary source of water supply in most of north and central Florida. In the southern portion of the state, the Lower Floridan aquifer is deeper and contains brackish, or slightly salty water that needs additional treatment to be used for drinking water.

The major source of ground water supply in Florida is the Floridan Aquifer System, which underlies the entire state. In the far western panhandle and in southern Florida, the Floridan aquifer system is deep, and produces salty and mineralized water.

The Floridan aquifer system (FAS) underlies an area of approximately 100,000 square miles beneath all of Florida and some of the less densely populated parts of southeastern Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina.
