Tallahassee, Florida

Dear Governor Askew:

The Bureau of Geology, Division of Resource Management, Department of
Natural Resources, is publishing as its Report of Investigations No. 79, the
"Summary of Hydrologic Conditions and Effects of Walt Disney World
Development in the Reedy Creek Improvement District, 1966-73". This report is
the result of a cooperative program of water resource investigations between the
U.S. Geological Survey and the Reedy Creek Improvement District, initiated in
1966. The purpose of the program was to monitor the quantity and quality of
surface and ground water in and adjacent to the Reedy Creek Improvement
District as an aid in the continuing management of the water resources of this
area and in evaluating the effects of urban activities on the hydrologic system.
This first report describes the hydrologic setting and documents the interpreta-
tions of urban related changes in the area's hydrology that can be made from
existing data.
We believe this report, along with subsequent reports, will provide the data
base upon which proper water management programs can be developed to
protect the water resources of this most important area of Florida.


Sincerely,





C. W. Hendry, Jr., Chief

SUMMARY OF HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS AND
EFFECTS OF WALT DISNEY WORLD DEVELOPMENT IN THE
REEDY CREEK IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, 1966-73

By Arthur L. Putnam


ABSTRACT

The Reedy Creek Improvement District (hereinafter called the RCID) is an
area of about 43 square miles (111 square kilometres) in southwest Orange aid
northwest Osceola Counties. Before development of Walt Disney World began
(mid-1967), all of this tract of land was scrubby flatlands and swamp. Walt
Disney World facilities now (1974) occupy slightly less than 10 percent of the
area. Hydrologic data are available for most of the area for the 6-year period
July 1967-June 1973, with some records starting before July 1967.
The potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer near Bay Lake has
declined 8 feet (2 metres) on the average. Seventy-five percent of the decline is
attributed to water use in the RCID; the remaining decline is attributed to
deficient rainfall since the records began in March 1966. The discharge of
streams in the RCID has apparently increased. However, the hydrologic
conditions were changing locally as the development of the area progressed.
Because of this change, the magnitude and seasonal distribution of any eventual
change in streamflow cannot be accurately appraised until additional data are
obtained after the development has stabilized. Some changes in water quality
have occurred, but none can be attributed to urbanization.

INTRODUCTION

The RCID (Reedy Creek Improvement District) is an area of about 43
square miles (111 square kilometres) in southwestern Orange and northwestern
Osceola Counties (fig. 1). Construction of Walt Disney World facilities in the
RCID and of commercial facilities on adjacent land is rapidly changing
uninhabited swamplands and scrubby flatlands to urbanized recreational land.
Increased demands on the water resources in these parts of the two counties are
commensurate with this growth, particularly since October 1971 when Walt
Disney World opened.
Many of the activities in the RCID are water-related. Canals, levees,
water-control structures, and culverts provide surface drainage. The constant-
head structures in the canals and streams automatically maintain a predeter-
mined upstream water level, to keep lowlands from being inundated during
storms and to curtail excessive drainage of the shallow aquifer during dry
periods. Bay Lake, a natural shallow depression containing an island, was
drained, cleared of organic bottom deposits, diked opposite several swamps, and
refilled with water from the Floridan aquifer. A lagoon was excavated,

connected to Bay Lake, and several water-course attractions were built in the
Theme Park to complete the lake complex. The aggregate area of Bay Lake, the
lagoon, and the Theme Park water course is about 650 acres (263 hectares).
The level and clarity of water in the Theme Park water courses are
maintained by water pumped into them from wells tapping the Floridan aquifer
and by diverting surface runoff away from them and substituting water from the
Theme Park water course to maintain the lake level. Water used to irrigate a golf
course, lawns and other landscaped areas essential to maintain the aesthetic value
of 2,500 acres (1,012 hectares) of modern recreational area, is also obtained
from the Floridan aquifer. The Floridan aquifer also supplies water for the daily
needs of employees, visitors and residents.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

In 1966, the U.S. Geological Survey began a cooperative program of
water-resource investigations with the RCID. The purpose of the program is to
monitor the quantity and quality of surface and ground water in and adjacent to
the RCID as an aid in the continuing management of the RCID's water
resources, and in evaluating the effects of urban activities on the hydrologic
system.
This report summarizes hydrologic conditions in the RCID to July 1973
and presents the hydrologic data from the monitoring sites in tabular and
graphic form. The basic data presented are largely those for July 1972-June
1973, but hydrologic conditions are summarized for 1966 through June 1973.
The hydrologic setting is described, and interpretations of urban-related changes
in the area's hydrology that can be made from existing data are presented.
The report was prepared under the direct supervision of Joel O. Kimrey,
Subdistrict Chief, Winter Park, and under the general supervision of C. S.
Conover, District Chief, Tallahassee, both of the Water Resources Division, U. S.
Geological Survey.

HYDROLOGIC SETTING

The RCID is in the Osceola Plain between the Lake Wales Ridge to the
west and the Mount Dora Ridge to the east, as designated by Puri and Vernon
(1964, fig. 6). The topography within the RCID consists of relatively flat,
swampy terrain interspersed with higher areas or "islands" of greater topo-
graphic relief. Altitudes range from 65 to 105 feet (20 to 32 metres) above mean
sea level but are mostly between 75 and 95 feet (23 and 29 metres); the islands
commonly are about 100 feet (30 metres). Natural gradients are too slight to
permit rapid runoff, even after heavy rainfall. Consequently, large swamps and
marshlands abound in which stream channels are not well defined.
The climate is humid subtropical, characterized by long warm summers,







BUREAU OF GEOLOGY


short mild winters, and high humidity throughout the year. Rainfall averages
about 50 inches (1270 millimetres) per year. The rainfall pattern is such that the
year can be divided into a rainy season and a long dry season. On the average,
more than half of the rain falls during June through September. The mean
annual temperature is about 720F (220C): the summer mean is about 82F
(280C); and the winter mean is about 610F (16C).
Although killing frosts do occur and are severe from the standpoint of
agriculture, the mild temperature and abundance of rainfall support lush,
subtropical growth in several different environments. Within the RCID, there are
two predominant environments and two lesser environments. The two predomi-
nant environments, swamp forest and prairies, cover the majority of the RCID
and are interspersed with the two lesser environments, cypress heads and pine
islands.
Swamp forest with a dense understory and comprised of such species as
swamp maple, water oak, live oak, bay and cypress, covers the largest part of the
RCID. Topographic relief within the forest is such that some low areas are
inundated during most of the year, whereas other higher areas are seldom
inundated.
Prairies or savannahs cover most of the RCID not occupied by swamp
forest. The prairies support mixed grasses and palmetto, with few trees. Some
may be inundated for months, whereas others may be seldom inundated,
depending on their altitude, which may be only a few inches or as much as
several feet above the surrounding forest. Mixed grasses are characteristic of the
lower prairies, whereas palmetto is characteristic of the higher prairies.
Circular or elliptical cypress heads, dome-shaped in profile, are scattered
throughout the RCID. Because these heads remain inundated much of the year,
few trees other than cypress grow in them. Pines predominate where localized
islands of low relief provide sufficient drainage, enough soil depth, and
protection from inundation.

DRAINAGE

The RCID is in the Reedy Creek drainage basin which is tributary to the
Kissimmee River (beyond map area) in the south. Major tributaries to Reedy
Creek are Whittenhorse, Davenport, and Bonnet Creeks. Cypress Creek is
tributary to Bonnet Creek. (See fig. 1 for locations).
Low undulating hills and flat, wide swampy valleys are characteristic
features of the Reedy Creek basin. The various lakes and swamps retain large
quantities of water, overflowing across wide, shallow marshes during the
normally wet summer months and other periods of heavy rainfall. The flatness
of the swampy valleys, the mantle of relatively permeable sands, the underlying
soluble rock, and the lush growth of vegetation play important roles in inhibiting
surface flow.







REPORT OF INVESTIGATIONS NO. 79


The subsurface drainage of the RCID is generally poor. Heavy rainfall
recharges the surficial sands to full capacity and causes water to stand over a
large part of the RCID. Owing to the almost complete lack of well-defined
tributary stream channels in these swamps and marshlands, surplus water
remains in the basin for long periods before finding its way to the creeks that
drain to the south. In the ridges that form the eastern and western boundaries of
the basin, ground-water levels fluctuate through a greater range than in the
RCID. This wider range of fluctuation indicates better subsurface drainage in the
water-table aquifer outside the RCID than in the RCID.
Lichtler, Anderson and Joyner (1968, p. 32) estimated that about 70
percent of the rain that falls on Orange County returns to the atmosphere by
evaporation and transpiration. In the RCID these losses to the atmosphere may
be greater than 70 percent because of the high proportion of land area that is
perennially wet. Thus, as Langbein (Parker, Ferguson, Love and others 1955, p.
513) states, "The atmosphere is by far the most effective agent of land drainage,
disposing of several times as much as the waterway systems."
Since 1967, the drainage within the RCID has been altered. Canals, dikes,
and automatic flow-control structures now replace the previous ill-defined
swampy stream valleys. This somewhat reduces detention and shortens the time
within which seasonal surface storage is high. However, the drainage is still
characterized by its relatively slow runoff rate and high proportion of surface
storage. The evaporation from surface-water bodies in the RCID is nearly equal
to the average annual rainfall (Visher and Hughes, 1969). Thus, evaporation and
transpiration are still the most effective agents of land drainage.

CHEMICAL QUALITY OF WATER

The chemical characteristics of water are determined by both natural
processes and human activities. Most of the dissolved solids in water are derived
from earth materials as the water passes over and through them. Much of the
organic content is derived from decayed vegetation on the surface. Man adds
both mineral and organic constituents, primarily as waste products dissipated
into the atmosphere and hydrosphere. Carbon dioxide, dissolved from the
atmosphere or decaying organic material on the earth's surface, reacts with the
water to form a weak carbonic acid. The acid increases the ability of water to
dissolve inorganic materials, especially the limestones that underlie the RCID.
The longer that water is in contact with soluble materials, the more highly
mineralized it becomes. Even though the movement of surface water in the
RCID is slow, it is far more rapid than that of ground water. Consequently, the
time of contact with soils and rocks is much shorter for surface water than for
ground water. Hence, surface water generally contains less than 90 mg/1
(milligrams per litre) of dissolved solids and ground water generally more than
90 mg/1. Surface water is usually higher in color (generally greater than 100







BUREAU OF GEOLOGY


color units) than ground water (generally less than 30 color units) because
surface water dissolves some of the living and decaying organic materials that it
contacts, while the soil tends to remove color from any surface water percolating
through it to recharge the aquifer.

GEOHYDROLOGY

The uppermost ground-water aquifer in the RCID is the nonartesian or
water-table aquifer. This aquifer consists of fine-to coarse-grained quartz sands,
with interbedded clays whose extent and distribution are not well defined. It
extends from the land surface to a depth of about 50 feet (15 metres). Water
from this aquifer is generally soft, low in mineral content, slightly corrosive, and
often high in color and iron. Water in the nonartesian aquifer is more highly
mineralized in areas where the artesian pressure (potentiometric) surface of a
deeper aquifer is above the water table and the confining layer is permeable
enough so that water can move upward from the deeper aquifer to the
nonartesian aquifer. Most recharge to the water-table aquifer is by direct
downward infiltration of rainfall or of water stored on the land surface. The
aquifer will yield small quantities of water to wells.
Underlying the nonartesian aquifer is the Hawthorn Formation of Miocene
age, a sequence of limestone and marl, fine-to coarse-grained sand, and very fine
micaceous clayey sand with some fine-grained black phosphatic material. In the
RCID, this formation is generally 40 to 90 feet (12 to 27 metres) thick and
generally acts as a confining bed for the underlying Floridan aquifer. The
permeability of this formation varies throughout the RCID, providing varying
degrees of hydraulic contact between the Floridan aquifer and the shallower
aquifers.
Artesian conditions occur where the water in an aquifer is confined, so
that water levels in the aquifer are not free to rise and fall with changes in
pressure in the aquifer. The water level in a tightly cased well that penetrates an
artesian aquifer will stand above the point at which the aquifer was first
penetrated. The level at which the water stands in the well is a point on the
potentiometric surface of the aquifer tapped by that well.
Secondary artesian aquifers (consisting primarily of thin limestone lenses
or sand and shell zones) occur above or within the Hawthorn Formation. These
secondary artesian aquifers are confined by overlying less permeable material
and may locally yield moderate to large quantities of water to wells. The quality
of water in the secondary artesian aquifer is controlled by the relation of the
potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer to the water table. Where the
potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer is below the water table, some
downward leakage or recharge occurs and the quality of the water in the
secondary artesian aquifer will more closely resemble that of water in the
nonartesian aquifer than that of water in the Floridan aquifer. Where the







REPORT OF INVESTIGATIONS NO. 79


potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer is above the water table, some
water from the Floridan aquifer leaks or discharges upward and water in the
secondary artesian aquifer tends to be similar to water in the Floridan aquifer.
The principal aquifer in the RCID is the Floridan aquifer, which underlies
all of Florida. In general, this aquifer consists of about 2,000 feet (610 metres)
of limestone and dolomite or dolomitic limestone of Eocene age. In some parts
of the RCID, basal limestones in the Hawthorn Formation are in hydraulic
contact with the Eocene limestones and are included in the Floridan aquifer.
The aquifer not only stores enormous quantities of water, but it transmits water
so efficiently that large diameter wells may yield several thousand gallons of
water per minute. Water from this aquifer is a calcium bicarbonate type, low in
color, moderately hard to very hard, and relatively high in dissolved-mineral
content.
The Floridan aquifer can accept recharge only when the potentiometric
surface of the nonartesian or water-table aquifer is higher than the potentio-
metric surface of the Floridan aquifer. However, the rate at which recharge will
occur depends upon the thickness and permeability of the materials (confining
beds) that separate the nonartesian and the Floridan aquifer and the hydraulic
gradient through these materials. Where the potentiometric surface of the
Floridan aquifer is near or above the land surface, there is little or no head
difference to induce water to move downward to the Floridan. In addition,
upward leakage from the Floridan aquifer may occur in these areas, thus, adding
water to the nonartesian aquifer and reducing its ability to capture surface
water.

RECHARGE AND DISCHARGE AREAS

The part of the RCID where the potentiometric surface of the Floridan
aquifer was above land surface in May 1962 is shown on figure 2. The
potentiometric surface for May 1962 was used for portrayal because this was a
period of low water conditions that occurred prior to the development of Walt
Disney World, and it gives a basis for future comparisons of the extent and
distribution of the area for potential discharge from the Floridan aquifer. The
extent and distribution of this area varies with the fluctuation of the
potentiometric surface, the potential discharge area being more extensive during
periods when the potentiometric surface is high than during periods when it is
low. The effect of urbanization on the potential discharge and recharge areas can
be evaluated in relation to a condition prior to development by comparing a
low-water condition after development, with the potentiometric surface for May
1962.
As indicated by figure 2, the potentiometric surface of the Floridan
aquifer was above land surface in the broad valleys of Reedy and Bonnet Creeks,
which constitute most of the RCID. The area is generally swampy and is one in

REPORT OF INVESTIGATIONS NO. 79


which the base flow of the streams and water from the nonartesian aquifer have
chemical characteristics similar to those of water from the Floridan aquifer.
The most favorable recharge areas for the Floridan aquifer are west, north,
and east of the RCID, in the Cypress and Whittenhorse Creek basins and in the
higher part of Davenport Creek basin. In these areas the potentiometric surface
is always well below land surface, and the small amount of surface runoff seems
to indicate that recharge, to at least the shallow aquifer, is appreciable.

DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY

Ground water and surface water in the RCID are so closely associated that
any change, whether natural or imposed by man, may affect the entire
hydrologic system. Several alterations in the physiography resulting from the
development of Walt Disney World affect the water resources of the RCID and
merit discussion here.
Construction of buildings, streets, and other impervious surfaces prevents
infiltration of rainfall into the ground and causes water to run off rapidly. A
system of canals has been constructed to protect the RCID from floods resulting
from a 50-year frequency rainfall. This system consists of 44 miles (71
kilometres) of well entrenched canals and 19 miles (31 kilometres) of dikes
constructed in low-lying lands to control inflow from parts of the drainage basin
lying upstream and outside the RCID. These dikes direct the inflow into the
canals where gated structures or spillways control the quantity of flow at points
of entrance to the RCID. This drainage system was designed to protect lowlands
from inundation during storms and to curtail excessive drainage of the shallow
aquifer during dry periods. These facilities have provided adequate surface and
subsurface drainage to thus far permit development of approximately 9,800
acres (3,960 hectares).
The modification of the 450-acre (182-hectare) Bay Lake began in
December 1968. A dike constructed around the lake prevents inflow of colored
swamp water. The lake was drained and kept dry until September 1970 by
pumping seepage water out of the depression into Bonnet Creek through a gated
spillway at the southeast part of the lake. While the bottom was dry, organic
bottom sediments were removed to expose a relatively clean sand bottom. A
connecting 175-acre (71-hectare) lagoon was excavated to the southwest of Bay
Lake along with several water-course attractions in the Theme Park just north of
the lagoon. A gated outlet structure or spillway was installed at the northwest
part of the lagoon. From September 1970 to June 1971, the completed
lake-lagoon complex was filled with water from wells in the Floridan aquifer.
Since June 1971, the complex has been maintained at the design level of 94.5
feet (28.8 metres) by rainfall and water pumped from the Floridan aquifer to
maintain the quality of the Theme Park water attractions.
Test boring indicates the absence of a definitive confining unit for the







BUREAU OF GEOLOGY


Floridan aquifer in the Bay Lake-lagoon area; so, water may be interchanged
between the aquifer and lake. During the drawdown of Bay Lake and the
excavation of the lagoon, about 2 cubic feet per second (0.06 cubic metre per
second) of ground-water discharge was observed in a boil that formed on the
west side of the lake. The quality of the water from this boil indicated that it
comes from the Floridan aquifer. The potential for interchange of water
between the lake system and the aquifer is currently (1974) being further
investigated.
About 63 Mgal/d (million gallons per day) (0.28 cubic metre per second)
of water is required in the RCID. About 4.9 Mgal/d (0.18 cubic metre per
second) is required for a potable supply. The remaining 2.3 Mgal/d (0.1 cubic
metre per second) is used for quality control of the Theme Park water-course
attractions. After passing through the water course, this water is used to
maintain the quality and level of water of the lake and lagoon.
The location of six Floridan-aquifer wells, and the distribution of pumpage
from these wells to provide the above water requirements, affect the potential
for loss of water from the lake-lagoon to the aquifer and ultimately affect the
amount of water required to maintain the lake-lagoon. Two wells about 0.8 mile
(13 kilometres) northwest of the north shore of Bay Lake provide about 85
percent of the potable water, and three wells-3.3, 4.4, and 5.1 miles (5.3, 7.1,
and 82 kilometres) southeast of the north shore of Bay Lake-furnish the
remaining 15 percent of the potable water. One well about 0.25 mile (0.40
kilometre) north of the north shore of Bay Lake provides the water for the
lake-lagoon and Theme Park water attractions. The distribution of wells is thus
such that most of the ground-water withdrawals, and the resulting decline of
potentiometric levels, occur near Bay Lake.
Waste water receives partial-tertiary treatment at the sewage treatment
plant in the RCID and is then stored in a holding pond until used for irrigation
of the tree farm about 4 miles (6 kilometres) southwest of Bay Lake.

HYDROLOGIC-DATA NUMBERING SYSTEM

The observation wells cited in this report are assigned identification
numbers based on the latitude and the longitude of the well location. By
describing a well site to the nearest second of latitude and longitude, its location
is defined to within a one-second quadrangle, which is approximately 100 feet
(30.5 metres) square. For example, a well located at 28025'28" north latitude
and 81034'09" west longitude would be numbered 282528N0813409.1. The .1
at the end of this number is called the sequential number and indicates this well
was the first well to be inventoried within the 100-foot square quadrangle. For
convenience and rapid recognition, this number has been shortened to the last
digit of the degree and the two digits of the minutes for both latitude and
longitude. There is, in addition, another sequential number. This sequential







REPORT OF INVESTIGATIONS NO. 79


number indicates this was the first well inventoried within a 1-minute quadrangle.
The shortened form of the example well then becomes 825-134-1.
For surface-water data, the identification numbers are assigned in
ascending order in a downstream direction along the main stream. Gaps are left
in the numbers to allow for new stations that may be established; hence, the
numbers are not consecutive. The numbers for surface-water stations used in this
report are 6-digit identification numbers such as "2663.00". Latitude and
longitude for surface-water stations are given as additional identification data.
Water-quality data are assigned identification numbers corresponding to
the source of water. For quality data of ground water, the identification number
is the same as that described above for wells. Similarly, the identification
number for quality data of surface water is the same as described above for
surface-water stations.
Weather stations in this report have not been assigned identification
numbers. Identity is established by means of a structure or landmark at the
point of collection. For example, the weather station at Bay Lake is identified as
Bay Lake West Shore Weather Station. Latitude and longitude are given for
further location.
Locations of collection sites of data used in this report are shown in figure
1. Table 1 lists all the sites by map reference number shown on figure 1. Table 1
also gives the U. S. Geological Survey site number, name, location, latitude, and
longitude, period of record, and type of data collected for each site.

SUMMARY OF HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

In the RCID, the distribution of monthly runoff during the year
corresponds in a general way to the distribution of rainfall, but both streamflow
and rainfall are more variable and intermittent than evaporation (fig. 3). Thus,
evaporation affects the RCID's water resources more during a short-record
period (less than .10 years) of lower-than-average rainfall than during a
long-record period (greater than 20 years) representing average conditions.
Keeping this in mind, considerable judgment is required to determine the extent
to which short-record hydrologic data represent long-record average conditions.
Because the data network for the study area was established in May 1966, the
data shown in figure 3 represent trends for a short-record of hydrologic
conditions. The data also represent a time when the hydrologic conditions were
changing locally as a result of successive stages of development in the RCID. The
effects of such development are not readily distinguishable against a background
of natural, high variations in hydrologic conditions.

average. The annual rainfall at Bay Lake, 1967-72, averaged 47.15 inches (1200
millimetres), or 5.53 inches (140 millimetres) less than the 60-year average
measured by the National Weather Service at Windermere, Florida, about 5.6
miles (9.0 kilometres) north of Bay Lake. The deficit at Bay Lake was maximum
in 1968, 12.47 inches (317 millimetres) below the 60-year average at
Windermere. In only one year, 1969, was the rainfall at Bay Lake above the
60-year average at Windermere, and then only by 2.70 inches (68 millimetres).
The total rainfall at Bay Lake for 1967-72 was 282.88 inches (7185 millimetres),
while the total at Windermere was 299.17 inches (7599 millimetres). While the
6-year average at Windermere was 49.70 inches (1262 millimetres) or 2.98 (76
millimetres) below the 60-year average.
The average temperature for the RCID (measured at Bay Lake), 1967-72,
was 71.10F (21.70C). This was 1.30F (0.70C) below the long-term average for
Kissimmee No. 2 National Weather Service Station, about 13 miles (21
kilometres) southeast of Bay Lake. At Bay Lake, the maximum average-monthly
temperature was 840F (28.90C), during September of 1971 and 1972. The
average-monthly temperature was least, 540F (12.20C) in February 1968. The
maximum temperature was 1010F (38.3C) on July 28, 1968, and the minimum
temperature was 240F (-4.4C) on January 10, 1970.
Weather observations made in the District from July 1972 through June
1973 are presented in table 2.

GROUND WATER

NONARTESIAN AQUIFER

The 7-year trend of ground-water levels in the RCID area is shown in
figure 4 by graphs of the month-end water level. The water level in Bay Lake
shallow well, 825-134-3 a well tapping the nonartesian aquifer declined
about 3 feet (0.9 metre) between 1966 and about mid-1970. Shallow wells,
822-138-2 about 6 miles (10 kilometres) southwest of Bay Lake and 815-134-2
about 12 miles (19 kilometres) south of Bay Lake, show a pattern in water-level
fluctuation between 1966 and mid-1970 similar to that of Bay Lake shallow
well. However, water levels in wells 822-138-2 and 815-134-2 recovered in late
1969 and early 1970 to levels slightly higher than they were in 1966, whereas in
late 1969 the water level in Bay Lake shallow well, 825-134-3, remained about
1.5 feet (0.4 metre) below its 1966 level. This apparent discrepancy in
water-level fluctuation for wells 822-138-2 and 815-134-2, as compared to Bay
Lake shallow well, is explained as follows: water levels in wells 822-138-2 and
815-134-2 are not known to be affected by pumpage or drainage; so, their
fluctuations during 1969-70 related directly to rainfall. However, water levels in
Bay Lake shallow well were kept lower from December 1968 to May 1971 by
drainage and reclamation of Bay Lake. Since May 1971, the water level in Bay

Figure 4-Water levels in wells in the Reedy Creek Improvement District area and
vicinity.






Lake shallow well is affected by maintaining Bay Lake at a near constant level.
When Bay Lake was refilled between September 1970 and June 1971, the
water level of Bay Lake shallow well rose about 1 foot (0.3 metre), a rise not in
evidence in the other shallow wells. Bay Lake is now maintained at 94.5 feet






REPORT OF INVESTIGATIONS NO. 79


(28.8 metres) above mean sea level, and the nonartesian-aquifer water level near
the lake is now high and rather constant when compared to its previous
fluctuations.
Daily water-level fluctuations for two nonartesian aquifer wells in the
RCID are shown in figures 5, 6, and 7, and tables 3 and 4. Levels in both wells
respond immediately to rainfall. The broad, rounded peaks in the hydrographs
for the new tree farm shallow well, 822-135-1, indicate a more sluggish response
to rainfall and ground-water discharge in that area than in the area represented
by Bay Lake shallow well, 825-134-3.

FLORIDAN AQUIFER

The natural hydraulic gradient of the Floridan aquifer is such that the
general movement of water in the aquifer under the RCID is from west to east.
This hydraulic gradient and the attendant movement of water in the aquifer
under the RCID are chiefly controlled by the inflow of ground water from the
west and southwest, the high average annual recharge in the area to the east and
northeast of the RCID, and the variations in recharge, discharge, and aquifer
transmissivity within the RCID.
The general 7-year fluctuation trend of the water levels in the RCID
vicinity is shown in figure 4 by the hydrographs for wells 825-134-2, 822-138-1,
and 815-134-1. Between 1966 and mid-1970, the patterns of water-level
fluctuation in the three Floridan-aquifer wells were very similar to each other
and to those in shallow wells 825-134-3, 822-138-2, and 815-134-2. From
mid-1970 through mid-1973, levels in the Bay Lake deep well, 825-134-2, show
pronounced peaks and troughs caused by pumping from the Floridan aquifer.
Including the effects of both rainfall and pumping, the level in the Bay Lake
deep well, 825-134-2, declined a total of approximately 8 feet (2.4 metres) from
1966 through 1970. During this same period, levels in Floridan-aquifer wells
822-138-1 about 6 miles (10 kilometres) southwest of Bay Lake, and 815-134-1
about 12 miles (19 kilometres) south of Bay Lake, declined about 2 feet (0.6
metre) and 1 foot (0.3 metre), respectively. Levels in these two wells (822-138-1
and 815-134-1) are not known to be affected by any pumping, so their
water-level decline is attributed to deficient rainfall over the period. Thus, the
decline of 8 feet (2.4 metres) for Bay Lake deep well minus the decline of 2 feet
(0.6 metre) for deficient rainfall equals a decline of 6 feet (2 metres) in the level
of Bay Lake deep well, 825-134-2, is attributed to water use in the RCID. This
pumping from the Floridan aquifer has kept the potentiometric surface at Bay
Lake below the water table most of the time since mid-1970. Records show no
measureable effects of that pumping on the levels of Floridan-aquifer wells in
areas outside the RCID.
Daily water levels in Bay Lake deep well, 825-134-2, are shown in figure 8
and table 5.

Creek basin, for which the long-term gaged flow is 3.68 inches (9.35
centimetres), and the remaining 25.8 square miles (66.8 square kilometres) of
the western part of the basin gives an average flow of 13.1 inches (33.3
centimetres) from the western part, of which about 15 square miles (38.8 square
kilometres) is within the RCID. During the 5 years of complete record, October
1, 1966, to September 30, 1971, flow ceased at least 1 day in both 1967 and
1968. The longest period of no flow was 28 days in 1967.

REPORT OF INVESTIGATIONS NO. 79


Creek Swamp into which Bonnet Creek drains. Since October 1939, the drainage
area of Reedy Creek near Loughman (2665.00) has been reported to be as much
as 194 square miles (502 square kilometres). Presently (1974), the drainage area
is reported as 110 square miles (285 square kilometres), approximately,
including part of the watershed in Reedy Creek Swamp, which is indeterminate.
Since 1951, flow past the gaging station (2665.00) near Loughman has been
reported as affected by several canals above the station, which divert an
undetermined amount of water into the Shingle Creek basin east of the RCID.
Since May 1970, the flow has been regulated by dikes, culverts and automatic
control structures in the RCID.
During the 19 complete years of record prior to October 1959, the average
yearly flow past Reedy Creek Near Loughman (2665.00) was 5.81 inches (14.76
centimetres). Since July 1968, the average yearly flow has been 10.7 inches
(27.2 centimetres). Prior to October 1959, the minimum daily flow for Reedy
Creek near Loughman was 2.4 cfs (0.07 cubic metre per second). However, since
August 1968, the flow ceased for 28 days in 1970 and 97 days in 1972.

LAKES

Water-surface altitudes for lakes in the vicinity of the RCID are shown by
figure 9. Lake Butler at Windermere shows a slight declining trend, about 1 foot
(0.3 metre), since 1960. However, 1960, the first year of record, was the wettest
in central Florida. Lake Bryan shows no general trend, but its pattern of
fluctuation is similar to that of Lake Butler over the same 12-year period to
1971.
Before December 1968 when draining of Bay Lake was started, fluctua-
tions in stage appear to have been similar to those of Lake Butler. Draining the
lake required 1 year to accomplish, December 1968 to December 1969. The lake
was kept dry until September 1970 after which it was refilled by rainfall
augmented with water pumped from the Floridan aquifer. Since mid-1971, the
level of the lake has been maintained between 94 and 95 feet (28.6 and 29.0
metres) above mean sea level by rainfall and pumped ground water. The daily
mean altitude of Bay Lake during 1972 and 1973 is shown in table 6.
Between July 1966 and December 1968, prior to dewatering, the water
level of Bay Lake ranged between 92.6 to 95.3 feet (28.2 to 29.0 metres) above
mean sea level. During this time, the potentiometric surface of the Floridan
aquifer varied from about 1.7 feet (0.5 metre) above the lake surface to about
1.7 feet (0.5 metre) below the lake surface, and the water table near the lake
varied from about 1 foot (0.3 metre) above to 0.3 foot (0.1 metre) below the
lake level. Generally, both the potentiometric surface and the water table at
wells near the lake were simultaneously above or below the lake level. Thus,
water tended to move into the lake from both aquifers or out of the lake to both
aquifers.

The level of Bay Lake has been continuously higher than the water table
near the lake and the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer since April
1971. The water levels in Floridan-aquifer wells near the lake have varied from
about 0.3 foot (0.1 metre) below to 11 feet (3.4 metres) below the lake level,
and the levels in water-table wells near the lake varied from about 0.3 foot (0.1
metre) below to 2.2 feet (0.7 metre) below the lake level. Thus, water now tends
to move out of the lake to both aquifers continuously.

(2640.00) varied from 9 to 130 percent of the 26-year average. The average
discharges for water years 1966-71 were 119, 58, 9, 15, 130, and 11 percent of
average, respectively. The Cypress Creek basin may not be representative of the
vicinity of the RCID for all comparison purposes because of very low runoff and
intermittent flow. However, it demonstrates the short-term variability in the
distribution of surface water and emphasizes that parts of larger drainage basins
can be non-contributing at times and, thus, produce marked differences in
runoff characteristics from site to site within the RCID.
The annual runoff data for Cypress Creek at Vineland (2640.00) were
statistically analyzed to determine any change in the runoff pattern for streams
tributary to the RCID. Thirteen streamflow stations in central Florida were used
to determine the regional cumulative runoff pattern for central Florida. A
double-mass curve of the streamflow data is presented in figure 17.
The flow of Cypress Creek is influenced by the relationship between the
potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer and the lake level in the Butler
Chain of lakes, lakes that form the headwaters of Cypress Creek. During normal
to drier-than-normal years, very little outflow occurs from the Butler Chain
because the amount of inflow (including rain) to the Chain is largely offset by
evaporation and leakage from the lakes to the Floridan aquifer under a normal
head difference of 10 to 16 feet. In wet years, the potentiometric surface of the
Floridan aquifer rises more than do the lake levels, thereby reducing the amount
of head difference and decreasing the amount of downward leakage. Evaporation
is about the same for wet and dry years. Therefore, in wet years outflow
increases sharply because of the increase in inflow (including rain) and the
decrease in leakage to the Floridan aquifer. This pronounced variation in
outflow between wet and dry years is shown in figure 17 which also shows that
no demonstrable change in the surface-water relations has taken place during the
period of analysis.
The interrupted record for Reedy Creek near Loughman (2665.00) was
analyzed in a similar manner to determine whether there was any change in the
runoff pattern for the RCID. A double-mass curve of the streamflow data for
1946-58 and 1969-72 at Reedy Creek near Loughman (2665.00) is presented in
figure 18. The regional data are the same as used in figure 17. The 1969 to 1972
data when accumulated without regard for the missing period, 1959-68, indicate
an apparent change in slope between 1958 and 1969. Several more years of
records are probably necessary to determine the significance of and degree of the
change in the slope.
The change in the slope of the curve in figure 18 indicates an increase in
runoff for the Reedy Creek basin. However, the length of record reflecting the
change is not great enough to attribute a permanent increase in runoff to
urbanization in the RCID. Several factors that may have contributed to the
increase in runoff are either nonrecurring or were not uniformly effective during
the period of data involved. For instance, the draining of Bay Lake was a

from July 1969 to March 1970. Although the volume of additional water can be
easily determined, the routing downstream and disposition of that water in time

and space were obscured by some of the following factors:


The progressive canalization and improvement of stream

channels had a variable effect, sometimes curtailing and other times

contributing flow, depending on the phase of construction. Gated

control structures in the drainage system regulated natural flow and

had a variable effect on streamflow from wet to dry conditions.

Reedy Creek and Shingle Creek to the east of the RCID. Now, dikes,
canals, and constant head structures in the channels may have
altered the movement of surface water through Reedy Creek
Swamp. Continuing construction of roads, parking lots and buildings
progressively altered surface-runoff patterns. Based on data from
available aquifer tests and logs of exploratory drilling, even the
pumpage from the Floridan aquifer to refill the lake-lagoon, which
began in September 1970, had a localized, nonrecurring, initial
effect on the relation between ground water and surface water.

Both Bonnet Creek near Vineland (2641.00) and Reedy Creek near
Vineland (2663.00) show increases in mean monthly flow in dry seasons since
1969 as compared to 1966-68 (figures 10 and 11). Part of the increased low flow
in Bonnet Creek is attributed to water drained from Bay Lake in 1969, and to
Floridan aquifer water that eventually is used to maintain the level of Bay Lake.
The flow in Reedy Creek near Vineland (2663.00) is also affected by the
pumping, because Bay Lake is connected to the lagoon excavated west of the
lake and because the Theme Park water courses are constructed to permit
diversions of pumped ground water to the east-west canal, which is tributary to
Reedy Creek. During the dry seasons since 1970, the water level in the lake and
lagoon has been higher than the water table was under natural conditions, thus
maintaining seepage into the creeks. The water pumped from deep wells, which
eventually goes to maintain Bay Lake-Lagoon-Theme Park water courses, is
"new" water which should partly increase flows in the streams, because seepage
from the lake back to the aquifer may be less than seepage from the lake into
the creeks. Eventually, the pumpage from the aquifer, seepage to the aquifer,
and seepage to stream channels should stabilize. Also, the several check or
constant-head gates in both creeks have maintained water levels upstream from
such control gates at about swamp levels, and evapotranspiration has probably
increased. However, along the stream channels, the deeper canals are now more
completely entrenched into the water-table aquifer than they were previously as
natural streams. This canalization offers an increase in seepage in some reaches.
As a result of all these factors, the minimum flows in the downstream part of the
RCID have remained above 5 cubic feet per second (0.1 cubic metre per second)
as compared to no flow on many days prior to development. Part of the
increased minimum flows may be accounted for by the more uniformly
distributed rainfall in 1969-71 as compared to 1966-68. However, the records
for Whittenhorse Creek near Vineland (2662.00) and Cypress Creek at Vineland
(2640.00) do not confirm that the distribution of rainfall accounted for the
increase in low flow. The definite increase in minimum flow for both Bonnet
Creek near Vineland (2641.00) and Reedy Creek near Vineland (2663.00)
indicates that developments have changed the low-flow conditions in the lower
reaches of the RCID, at least during 1970-72.






BUREAU OF GEOLOGY


As the pumpage, recharge to the aquifer, and seepage to stream channels
stabilize, the eventual increase in streamflow during the dry seasons will
probably diminish from that noted for 1970-72. Only the water introduced from
Floridan aquifer wells, less than 3.5 cubic feet per second (0.10 cubic metre per
second), to maintain Bay Lake, Lagoon, and Theme Park water courses, and the
water from rainfall less evapotranspiration impounded by constant head
structures in the streams, will then be available to increase streamflow during dry
seasons.

WATER QUALITY

GROUND WATER

Chemical analyses for 9 wells, 5 tapping the nonartesian or water-table
aquifer and 4 tapping the Floridan aquifer, in the RCID and vicinity are available
for interpretation of quality of ground water in the area. These analyses are
tabulated in table 7.
Water from four of the five wells in the nonartesian aquifer is a calcium
bicarbonate water. The fifth well, 825-134-3, on the north shore of Bay Lake,
yields a sodium chloride water. These water compositions are illustrated in
figures 19 and 20. The concentration of sodium chloride in well 825-134-3 has
increased in recent years, as illustrated in figure 19. The dissolved-solids
concentration in the water from this well may be building up partly as a result of
the near constant surface elevation maintained in Bay Lake. Under predevelop-
ment conditions, the water level in the nonartesian aquifer near the lake was
higher than the lake level, and the aquifer tended to flush to the lake when the
lake level was low. Now, after development, the lake level is always higher than
the water level in the nonartesian aquifer; so, water moves only from the lake to
the aquifer. This results in a higher, almost constant, water table near the lake
and creates evapotranspiration conditions suitable for minimal concentrating of
the mineral content of the water in the nonartesian aquifer near the lake.
The primary source of sodium chloride is probably tied up on the lake
bottom in a reported cloud of flocculated materials that include the residual
impurities from chemicals used to reduce the turbidity of the lake water during
the refilling operation. Also, both the Floridan-aquifer water and rainfall contain
sodium chloride in low concentrations. These low concentrations, the cloud of
flocculated materials, and the previously mentioned relation between lake and
aquifer water levels create the conditions suitable for the increase of the
sodium-chloride concentrations. Presently (1974), the concentrations found in
the water-table aquifer are well within acceptable levels.
The chemical analyses of water from the Floridan aquifer are shown in
figures 21 through 23. These figures show that all of the wells contain a calcium
bicarbonate water having nearly identical chemical characteristics.

Figure 20-Concentration of chemical constituents in ground water from shallow
wells in Reedy Creek Improvement District.


A comparison of figures 19 and 20 with figures 21, 22, and 23 reveals that
with the exception of the shallow well at Bay Lake, 825-134-3, water from wells
in the nonartesian aquifer is chemically similar to water from the Floridan
aquifer. That is, both the Floridan aquifer and the nonartesian aquifer wells
(except Bay Lake shallow well) yield calcium bicarbonate type water. However,
Floridan aquifer water is generally higher in dissolved solids than nonartesian
aquifer water. This tends to confirm that the materials between the water table
and the Floridan aquifer are not totally effective as confining beds. Upward
leakage influences the chemical characteristics of the nonartesian aquifer water
where the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer is higher than the water
level in the nonartesian aquifer, and very little or no recharge to the Floridan
aquifer takes place in the area.

SURFACE WATER

Results of chemical, nutrient, metals, biological, insecticide, and herbicide
analyses of surface waters in the area are given in tables 8 through 13. No
deteriorating effect of water quality from the influence of development in the
RCID is indicated.
By changing several of the parameters tabulated in table 8 to millequiva-
lents per litre and plotting the irregular polygonal patterns presented in figures
24 through 30, the differences and similarities of the water composition become
apparent. These chemical characteristics separate the surface waters in the RCID
into two broad groups, those similar to water from the nonartesian aquifer and
those similar to water from the Floridan aquifer.
The waters of South Lake, Cypress Creek, Whittenhorse Creek, Reedy
Creek above Structure 46, and Lateral 405 above Structure 405A, are similar to
the water from the nonartesian aquifer represented by the shallow well at Bay
Lake (825-134-3) before 1970. This comparison, along with the low streamflow
and prolonged periods of no flow, confirms that where the potentiometric
surface of the Floridan aquifer is as low or lower than the water level in the
nonartesian aquifer in these basins, the Floridan aquifer contributes little or no
water by upward leakage to the nonartesian aquifer. In fact, this comparison
adds validity to the discussion that some recharge to the Floridan aquifer
probably occurs in the areas draining to these water bodies.
The waters of Lateral 405 below Structure 405A, Lateral 405 below
Structure 405, Reedy Creek below Structure 46, Reedy Creek near Vineland,
Davenport Creek near Loughman, and Reedy Creek near Loughman are similar
to the water from the Floridan aquifer. This comparison along with the higher
and less intermittent streamflow confirms that at best the area delineated in
figure 2 provides little or no recharge for the Floridan aquifer and that upward
leakage is great enough to influence the chemical quality of the surface waters.
Figures 29 and 30 show the change in the chemical characteristics of water
from Bay Lake for May 1966 to June 1972. Prior to draining the lake, the water
was predominately a sodium chloride type, grossly similar to the nonartesian
aquifer represented by Bay Lake shallow well. Prior to drainage, the water table
at the lake was above the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer part of
the time and some recharge to the Floridan aquifer probably occurred in the Bay
Lake area. Since May 1970, water from Bay Lake has been predominately a
calcium bicarbonate type, grossly similar in quality to the water of the Floridan
aquifer, because water from that aquifer was used to help refill the lake and has
since been used to help stabilize the stage of the lake. The potentiometric
surface is now (1974) lower than the water table and the lake level, and, thus,
some recharge to the Floridan aquifer continues in the Bay Lake area. However,
some of this recharge is the water pumped to the lake from the Floridan aquifer.
