| The Carlton Water Use Permit monitoring
program was designed to detect any potential impact resulting
from groundwater withdrawal from the Intermediate and Floridan
aquifers for potable water for Sarasota County residents.
The monitoring program examines the
groundwater levels and groundwater quality, as well as rainfall,
evapotranspiration, wetland vegetation, forest canopy, organic
soils and surface water flow.
Staff also monitors the long-term effects
through aerial photography. All data is analyzed and summarized
in an annual report submitted to the Southwest Florida Water
Management District.
