US Department of the Interior Water-Resources Setting, Martin County, FloridaWater-Resources Investigations Report 77-68 By R. Adam Miller INTRODUCTION This report describes some basic principles of hydrology as they apply to Martin County. The major land features of the county are described first, then the hydrologic cycle and the county's surface-water and ground-water resource. Specific problems associated with population growth and the county's development, such as saltwater intrusion and water use, are cited and sections have been included in the report to deal with these problems. The report is intended
to provide a background on the water resource of Martin County to those
who do not have the time nor the need to delve deeply into the county's
hydrologic conditions or it's water-management problems. It is freely illustrated
and uses a minimum of text to explain the illustrations. General data on
the water resource of the county are given, but few specific basic data
are presented. For those who wish to obtain additional information, basic
data, from which the illustrations were prepared, are available for inspection
at the South Florida Subdistrict office of the U.S. Geological Survey, Miami,
Florida.
