Abstract:

The Summit Pool reach of the proposed Cross-Florida Barge Canal will be excavated into the Floridan aquifer at least 12 feet below the water table. Particular areas of concern are outflow areas where water is expected to pass from the canal into the aquifer. The rate of outflow to the aquifer has important implications with regard to potential for ground-water contamination. Horizontal and vertical hydraulic conductivity of Floridan aquifer materials are determined by analyses of specially designed aquifer tests at three sites along the Summit Pool reach. Methods are described that deal with unique boundary conditions and aquifer anisotropy at two sites.
