Abstract

Florida's lakes have played an important roll in the development of the state and day by day they are becoming more important. The future well-being of the state depends to a large extent on the wise management of this valuable natural resource. Wise management needs large amounts of information and, yet, published information about Florida's lakes has consistently fallen behind the need. Recognizing this fact, the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund entered into cooperative agreements with the U. S. Geological Survey to provide for the collection and dissemination of lake information. This report, prepared at Ocala, Florida, under the supervision of A. O. Patterson, district engineer, U. S. Geological Survey, is part of the work. It has been written with the sincere hope that the knowledge it imparts will lead to the solution of some of the lake problems that Florida faces today.
