Katz, and Douglas G. Strom. Prepared in cooperation with the St. Johns River Water Management District. Scientific Investigations Report   These major construction efforts, in addition to the operation of one of the world's most complex water control systems, has produced significant changes in the hydrology of southeastern Florida.

Not until the mid s did water control in the Everglades take precedence over uncontrolled drainage of the area. CHAPTER 9 Managing Florida's Plantation Forests in a Changing Climate Timothy A. Martin1, Damian C. Adams1, Matthew J. Cohen1, Raelene M.

A variable-density groundwater flow and dispersive solute transport model was developed for the shallow coastal aquifer system near a municipal supply well field in southeastern Florida.

The model was calibrated for a year period ( to ). Potential effects of alterations to the hydrologic system on the distribution of salinity in the Biscayne aquifer in Broward County, Florida. To address concerns about the effects of water-resource management practices and rising sea level on saltwater intrusion, the U.S.

Geological Survey in cooperation with the Broward County Environmental. The circulation of water, in any form, from the surface of the earth to the atmosphere and back again is called the hydrologic cycle.

A comprehensive study of the water resources of any area must, therefore, include data on the climate of the area. The humid subtropical climate of southeast Florida is characterized by relatively high temperatures, alternating semi-annual wet.

Hydrologic alterations resulting from dam construction and other human activities have negatively impacted the biodiversity and ecological integrity of rivers worldwide (DudgeonPringle et al.

).These alterations have included habitat fragmentation, conversion of lotic to lentic habitat, variable flow and thermal regimes, degraded water quality, altered sediment transport Cited by: 2. Surface and ground water hydrology and natural ecosystems of southeastern Florida have been subjected to conflicting anthropogenic stresses, which are attributed to the development of a highly controlled water-management system designed to.

Because there are many long-established dams in temperate zones, paradigms and theories of how hydrologic modifications caused by dams alter the ecological dynamics of rivers are based largely on studies of temperate basins (e.g., Poff et al.

).Little is known about biotic responses to hydrologic modifications in tropical streams; generalizations about Cited by: Stow, S.

Hydrologic change derives from a range of drivers that cause stresses and change in hydrologic systems and the water cycle generally. Direct stressors on hydrologic systems include widespread land-cover change, urbanization, industrialization, and significant engineering interventions.

The quality of surface water in the agricultural area between Lake Okeechobee and the water conservation areas is markedly different from that of other surface water in southeastern Florida. In general, the water in this area is higher in concentrations of most chemical constituents.

Man has engaged in cultural activities, both agricultural and. Streamflow is one the most important variables controlling and maintaining aquatic ecosystem integrity, diversity, and sustainability.

Sharda, V., P. Srivastava, K. Ingram, and L. Kalin (), "Quantification of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Impact on Precipitation and Stream Flows for Improved Management of Water Resources in Alabama", Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, 67(3) The Everglades of south Florida once encompassed about 4, mi 2 (three million acres) of slow-moving water and associated biota that stretched from the Lake Okeechobee drainage basin in the north to Florida Bay in the south (Davis et al., ).The drainage basin for Lake Okeechobee extends north to a series of lakes near Orlando, and thus the Everglades.

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of methods for climate-based estimation of the net inflow rate into Lake Okeechobee, Fla. The estimated net inflow rate is used by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to support the management and operations of the Lake Okeechobee hydrologic system.

The G and S Pump Station Field Test is an incremental field test that will be used to evaluate how additional water will ultimately be sent south to Everglades National Park through the Modified Water Deliveries (Mod Waters) and C South Dade projects.

Research indicates that the hydrologic cycle will change in the future and water management must be modified to handle these changes. Current temperature projections show a rise of °C (°F), precipitation change may be ±10% and evapotranspiration (ET) may increase inches by Urbanization is increasing rapidly and has the potential to alter the hydrologic cycle.

It is uncertain if hydrologic alteration metrics developed for large-scale analyses detect the impacts of urbanization. This study tests the ability of two such methods, Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) and streamflow signatures, to detect the effects of urbanization in two watersheds in the Cited by: 1.
