Ground Water and Surface Water Interactions in the Freshwater Wetlands of Taylor Slough

Problem and Approach | Surface-Water Tracer of Groundwater Interactions |
Source and Quantity of Groundwater Discharge | Conclusion

Source and Quantity of Groundwater Discharge

The Source of Low-chloride Water Entering Taylor Slough is Groundwater Discharge and Shallow Drainage from Long Pine Key and Rocky Glades.

Groundwater Discharge can be Quantified by Simulating Chloride Transport

Conditions for simulation
date = 11/18/97

surface-water velocity = 0.5 cm/sec

groundwater chloride
concentration = 16 mg/L
