Technical Support - Ground Water

 

One of the important functions (past, present and future) of the GWPS is to provide ground water technical support in house, to other agencies, and to the public. These functions include:

GW-SW interaction investigation method development and evaluation (seepage meters, geochemical tracer methods, and radon method, sediment interstitial water field sampling technology, modeling, etc.)

• Ground Water Physical and Geochemical Modeling
• TMDL-PLRG-BMAP related GW issues (cooperation, review, supplementation with TMDL program modelers and basin working groups)
• Ground water contaminant source evaluations
• Springs Initiative technical document review

Special topics, past and ongoing projects:

• Septic tank technology – pollution and associated issues
• Florida Aquifer Vulnerability Assessment (FAVA) project participant – in association with Florida Geological Survey
• Industrial Wastewater Task Force and Percolation Pond (surface source)
• Spreadsheet modeling
• State mandated Lake Belt Well Field Protection Project
• Springshed size calculation
• Delineation of aquifer intrusion by industrial wastewater discharged into waterways using GW numerical, statistical, and chemical modeling
• Fenholloway River – ground water-surface water interaction modeling.
