Increasing population using more and more water from an aquifer is not unique to the gulf side of Florida. Perhaps a different aquifer (still checking on that) but the concept is the same.

I thought I saw a study, probably from NSCUDD, about the amount of water they were pulling from the aquifer compared to what they have been allotted. I'm still looking for that as well.
