McCoy, Henry J. and Hardee, Jack (1970) Ground-water resources of the lower Hillsboro Canal area, Southeastern Florida. Tallahassee, FL, Florida Geological Survey, (Report of Investigations - Florida Geological Survey, 55)
Abstract
This study was done to determine the amount and kinds of water being produced from the lower Hillsboro Canal Area in Palm Beach and Broward counties. All of the potable ground water being produced from the Biscayne aquifer is developed from the canal through infiltration. Rainfall in the area is the ultimate source for all of the water. Careful control and management will allow the development of large quantities of water from the canal toward Lake Okeechobee, but a fresh water head must be maintained along the contact of fresh water with sea water to prevent salt water intrusion.
