In west-central Florida, north Florida, and along the updip margin of the system, the limestone crops out and the aquifer system is unconfined. Where low-permeability clays of the upper confining unit are present and substantial, the system is confined and groundwater is contained under pressure.

This is by design and prevents water going over the top of the main dam. However the ground erodes faster than expected. Rocks and concrete (1) are placed under the emergency spillway weir to repair erosion damage (2). The release of water into the main spillway is increased, to lower the lake in preparation for more rain.
As Florida struggles to recover from the dramatic effects of Hurricane Ian, massive amounts of soil from the state’s coastline are seeping into the Gulf of Mexico. “Ian sure churned up the ...
Coastal hazards are physical phenomena that expose a coastal area to the risk of property damage, loss of life, and environmental degradation.Rapid-onset hazards last a few minutes to several days and encompass significant cyclones accompanied by high-speed winds, waves, and surges or tsunamis created by submarine (undersea) earthquakes and landslides.
Sand is dumped on the beach to shore up the dune damaged by beach erosion on February 20, 2024 on Singer Island in Riviera Beach, Florida. Diamond Walker is a journalist at The Palm Beach Post ...
Water rise and breaking waves eroded much of the protective barrier along Highway A1A in Ormond-by-the-Sea, leading to significant damage to the road itself. Onshore flow and wave-piling led to water rises of 2 to 3 feet (0.61 to 0.91 m) along the Halifax River and 1 to 2 feet (0.30 to 0.61 m) along the Mosquito Lagoon.
The bay, formerly the home of 90% of Florida’s oyster harvest, has been in decline for over a decade due to drought, water flow issues and pollution, and oyster harvest is closed through the end ...
