Protection of ground-water recharge areas against incursions of development is of great interest in Florida, a State whose population depends heavily on ground water and that is experiencing rapid growth. The Florida Legislature is considering implementation of a program to provide favorable tax treatment to owners of high-rate recharge lands that are left in an undeveloped state. Implementation would require delineation of such lands at a scale large enough to be useful to tax assessors. The U.S. Geological Survey undertook a pilot study with the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation to explore the feasibility of mapping high-rate recharge areas at a scale of 1:100,000. Recharge maps at that scale were compiled for Okaloosa, Pasco, and Volusia Counties. These maps delineate areas of high-rate recharge to the surficial aquifer and to the Upper Floridan aquifer. High-rate recharge was arbitrarily set at 10 or more inches per year. Recharge rates were determined primarily through analysis of streamflow, spring flow, and pumpage data together with knowledge of the groundwater flow system and topographic and soils information. Quantitative mapping of recharge using these techniques may not be possible in some parts of the State, but mapping on a qualitative basis is considered feasible.
