Healy The purpose of this report is to summarize the trends and fluctuations of water levels in the principal artesian and nonartesian (water-table) ground-water reservoirs or aquifers of Florida during 1960. Adequate water supplies are essential to the continued industrial and municipal growth of the State. Since World War II, particularly during the last decade, the demand for ground water for industrial and municipal use has increased yearly in many parts of the State. At present, the demand has not exceeded the ground-water supply in most areas but the supply is limited and if the demand for water continues to increase as it has during the last decade, many areas may have ground-water shortages in the future. In order to prevent such future shortages, the present supplies must be appraised and effectively utilized. The measurement of water-level fluctuations in observation wells is an important phase in the appraisal of ground-water resources of the State. The Floridan and Biscayne aquifers are two of the most important aquifers in the State. The areal extent of these aquifers is shown in figure 1. The Floridan aquifer underlies most of the State and it is the principal source of ground water in central, northern, and most of northwestern Florida. Highly mineralized water precludes the usefulness of the Floridan aquifer as a source of potable water supply in sopne coastal areas and most of southern Florida.

The Biscayne aquifer in southern Florida is the most highly productive of the shallow nonartesian aquifers in Florida. In northwestern Florida, unconsolidated deposits of sand and gravel yield large supplies of ground water for industrial and municipal uses. The statewide observation well network is an integral part of the Federal-State cooperative program for the investigation of ground-water resources of the State. At present, the statewide network includes a total of 7Z7 observation wells in 45 of the 67 counties of the State; of these, measurements for 163 wells are published periodically in U.S. Geological Survey water-supply papers. This report presents hydrographs of water-level fluctuations in63 obser- vation wells selected from the statewide network. Location of the selected wells are shown infigure 2. Additional water- level data for the wells used in this report and water-level data for all other wells in the statewide network are available from the office of the U. S. Geological Survey, Ground Water Branch, Tallahassee, Florida. Fluctuations of ground-water levels reflect changes in the quantity of water stored in an aquifer. The annual net changes of water levels during 1960, as shown by the hydro- graphs, show that the amount of water stored in the principal aquifers remained about the same in northern Florida, increased in central Florida, and decreased in the southern part of the State. Water levels in artesian aquifers were above average in most areas in northern, central, and southern Florida at the beginning of the year and then declined tobelow average. At the end of the year, water levels were above average in most areas in northern and central Florida, but were near or below average in most areas in southern Florida. Water levels in nonartesian aquifers were above average at the beginning of the year, and declined to near or below average in many areas during the year. At the end of the year, water levels were below average and lower than water levels at the beginning of the year in most areas in 4 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Figure 2.

Net changes of water levels were essen- tially caused by below average rainfall during October through December. Table 1 contains the following pertinent information on the observation wells: aquifer penetrated, the depth of well, and the depth of casing. Hydrographs showing the trends and fluctuations of water levels in observation wells in the artesian and nonartesian aquifers in the State are shown in figure 3. The hydrographs show end-of-month water levels for 1960 which are compared to the maximum, minimum, and average water levels computed from end-of-month water levels for the period of record. Table 1.
