There is a very informative thread on this site discussing local sinkholes. And there is an informative documentary done by PBS about florida sinkholes and the aquafire.

Home Irrigation: North of CR 466, homes are irrigated with potable water. South of CR 466, homes are irrigated with non-potable water which is comprised of storm water runoff that is collected in water retention areas and groundwater from the lower Floridan aquifer when storm water supplies are not available. Golf Course Irrigation: North of CR 466, golf courses are irrigated with a combination of reclaimed wastewater, storm water runoff that is collected in water retention areas, and groundwater (some upper Floridan and some Lower Floridan, depending on the specific course). South of CR 466 all golf courses are irrigated with a combination of reclaimed wastewater and lower Floridan groundwater. Please note that any reclaimed wastewater that is used for golf course irrigation is treated and meets the public access reuse standards established and required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

More houses, more people = more water needed and more water used. However, in times of drought or decreased rainfall (like a few years ago) where does the water come from to keep lawns green? Listen, there is room for all of us here...maybe we need to find more ways to conserve before we end up like CA. |
