Class I and II surface water classification. The Clean Water Act requires that the surface waters of each state be classified according to designated uses. Florida has six classes with associated designated uses, which are arranged in order of degree of protection required: Class I - Potable Water Supplies Fourteen general areas throughout the state including: impoundments and associated tributaries, certain lakes, rivers, or portions of rivers, used as a drinking water supply. Class II - Shellfish Propagation or Harvesting Generally coastal waters where shellfish harvesting occurs. For a more detailed description of classes and specific waterbody designations, see 62-302.400.

Water Management Districts in Florida are mandated by the Florida Statutes to ensure adequate supply of water and water resources for all citizens and natural features, provide protection and improvement of natural systems and water quality, minimize harm to water resources, and promote the reuse of reclaimed water. Water Management Districts have the regulatory authority for well construction and consumptive use permitting. The Department of Environmental Protection has regulatory authority over wastewater facilities. Florida Water Management District Governing Board Boards are required to conduct regional water supply planning for areas where existing water sources are insufficient to meet projected 20-year demands. Those areas are also to be designated as Water Resource Caution Areas, either by rule if the district uses the designation in its consumptive use permitting program, or in its Regional Water Supply Plan if it does not. The Department uses the designation in wastewater facility permitting. Wastewater facilities within, discharging into, or serving a population within a Water Resource Caution area are required to conduct a reuse feasibility study in order to obtain a permit.For more information follow these links:Florida Office of Water Policy https://floridadep.gov/water-policy Water Management Districts http://www.nwfwmd.state.fl.us, http://www.srwmd.state.fl.us, http://www.sjrwmd.com, http://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us, http://www.sfwmd.gov Section 40A-2.801 FAC http://florida.eregulations.us/rule/40a-2.801

This release of data includes the chloride concentration of water samples provided by the USGS or other organizations that were used for this mapping effort. The inland extent of saltwater at the base of the Biscayne aquifer in the Model Land area of Miami-Dade County, Florida, was mapped in 2011. Since that time, the saltwater interface has continued to move inland. The interface is near several active well fields; therefore, an updated approximation of the inland extent of saltwater and an improved understanding of the rate of movement of the saltwater interface are necessary. A geographic information system was used to create a map using the data collected by the organizations that monitor water salinity in this area. A rate of saltwater interface movement of 140 meters per year was estimated by dividing the distance between two monitoring wells (TPGW-7L and Sec34-MW-02-FS) by the travel time. The travel time was determined by estimating the dates of arrival of the saltwater interface at the wells and computing the difference. This estimate assumes that the interface is traveling east to west between the two monitoring wells. Although monitoring is spatially limited in this area and some of the wells are not ideally designed for salinity monitoring, the monitoring network in this area is improving in quality and spatial distribution. The approximation of the inland extent of the saltwater interface and the estimated rate of movement of the interface are dependent on existing data. Improved estimations could be obtained by installing uniformly-designed monitoring wells in systematic transects extending landward of the advancing saltwater interface.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefile and summary tables of irrigated agricultural land-use are provided for the 15 counties fully within the Northwest Florida Water Management District (Bay, Calhoun, Escambia, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Leon, Liberty, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Wakulla, Walton, and Washington counties). These files were compiled through a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Agricultural Water Policy. Information provided in the shapefile includes the location of irrigated lands that were verified during field surveying that started in May 2021 and concluded in August 2021. Field data collected were crop type, irrigation system type, and primary water source used. A map image of the shapefile is also provided. Previously published estimates of irrigation acreage for years since 1982 are included in summary tables.

The Florida Water Resources Act, Chapter 373, F.S., establishes that all water in Florida, on the surface or in the ground, is a public resource managed by the department and the five water management districts. Water resource managers are tasked with the responsibility of balancing the needs of Florida's growing population with the needs of the natural systems by creating dynamic plans that appropriately allocate the state's limited water resources. Every five years, each district creates a Regional Water Supply Plan. Regional Water Supply Plans include a water supply and water resource development component; a funding strategy for water resource development projects; consideration of how the water supply development project options serve the public interest or save costs; technical data to support the plan; a list of water bodies for which minimum flows and levels have been established or will be established; recovery or prevention strategies for the water bodies not meeting their minimum flows and/or levels; and a list of water reservations. Without these planning efforts, the districts project that existing sources of water will not adequately meet the reasonable-beneficial needs for the next 20 years. For information on this program, see the Office of Water Policy's site at: https://floridadep.gov/water-policy/water-policy/content/water-supply.This data set presents the water supply planning regions of the five water management districts (WMDs) as of 2019.

One purpose of the USGS National Assessment of Coastal Change Project is to provide accurate representations of pre-storm ground conditions for areas that are designated high-priority because they have dense populations or valuable resources that are at risk from storm waves. Another purpose of the project is to develop a broad geomorphic coastal classification that, with only minor modification, can be applied to most coastal regions in the United States.

A Coastal Classification Map describing local geomorphic features is the first step toward determining the hazard vulnerability of an area. The Coastal Classification Maps of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Project present ground conditions such as beach width, dune elevations, overwash potential, and density of development. In order to complete a hazard vulnerability assessment, that information must be integrated with other information, such as prior storm impacts and beach stability. The Coastal Classification Maps provide much of the basic information for such an assessment and represent a critical component of a storm-impact forecasting capability.
