Aquifer Florida Save the Florida Aquifer Let the Voices be Heard!

Florida aquifer, technically called Florida Aquifer is one of the largest aquifers and most productive in the world. The Florida aquifer provides water for irrigation, domestic, agricultural and industrial, livestock, plants, wildlife, and especially water, drink for the vast majority of Floridians across the state. Obviously, for this reason, the Florida Aquifer is a natural resource of vital importance that must be protected storage and recovery wells and aquifers of deep injection wells used for an injection part of treated wastewater effluent. And aquifer storage recovery (ASR) is the treated water injection or partially processed that meets the drinking water standards or ground water directly from the aquifer by an ASR injection and for later acting 'use of water. When water is in demand because of scarce, the injected water can then be recovered for use as drinking water, irrigation or other use. The level of treatment needed after storage depends on the use of water, either for public consumption, such as drinking water, increasing surface water, irrigation development areas wet. Understand special licenses may be issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to store partially treated sewage effluent directly into the Florida aquifer, our main source of drinking water a very shallow ASR wells (only 500 feet deep). In many parts of Florida, part processed sewage effluent and other toxic waste water from various sources is pumped into deep wells, at least 1,000 to 2,000 feet deep, deeper under the Floridan Aquifer at depths beyond where drinking water is available.

In theory, the deep injection wells for wastewater effluent does not affect the environment or drinking water due to the injection area is so deep, far below the Florida aquifer. Florida Aquifer is really an underground river surrounded by porous rocks. Water levels in the aquifer and the pressure of water in the aquifer float when the water demand increases and decreases. The result of low water levels and the reduced pressure in the vein aquifer feeding the well. Common sense says that if a particular vein of the aquifer is facing a low pressure due to the low water level, and the next veins experiencing high pressure due to high water levels, water flows through porous rock walls of the veins of the aquifer with high levels of water to replenish the low water level of the vein. Water seeks its own level, everyone knows.

Do not drink the water for irrigation ASR Wells! Do not drink your water hose! The water recovered by ASR wells for irrigation can contain the bacterium. Recently, a new ASR and was built in Rockledge, Florida in order to store water from sewage and partially treated sewage effluent. Rockledge ASR project is creating quite a stir. Injection Project Rockledge aquifer storage and recovery well wastewater effluent has many residents of Rockledge and around Brevard County and environmental groups, and very concerned about this controversial issue. The city argues that the property can help protect against the failure of the water, waving water restrictions, and will not affect local wells used for drinking water one-mile radius. The authorities also claim that the water will be treated to drinking water standards.

Note: drinking water standards are lacking in that many different hazardous chemicals were found in water from the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act was launched there several years. The local organization called Save Our Aquifer formed to stop the injection of wastewater effluent and other waste water 300-500 feet deep, 500 feet of newly constructed deep, too shallow, ASR well drilled directly into the Florida aquifer. Hundreds of interested landowners in Rockledge responded to Save Our Aquifer (SOA), expressing their concerns about injections and aquifers proposed ban on drinking water wells. The Save Our Aquifer members are campaigning against good, because they are concerned the injected water will flow from the injection site, contaminating local wells water contamination, damage the environment and eventually contaminate resource domain drinking water. That the injected water will be gone ... Many people think that the project Rockledge ASR is not only the storage of water. The injected water mixes with the existing natural water in the Florida aquifer, will destroy our source of drinking water, will go to other areas within aquifers, springs, wells, and will have a significant negative impact on the environment in general. Understand it, according to the Department of Environmental Protection Florida site, the injected water must be treated with the standards for drinking water.

The injection wells should be constructed, operated and maintained so that the injected water will remain in the injection area. The water flow is prohibited between aquifers. All ASR injection wells should be monitored so that if the water were to flow into other areas that would be detected before reaching the underground source of drinking water. Rockledge inject treated wastewater directly into the Florida aquifer, our drinking water ... Most of Florida have no idea what is happening. The rise and enforce our laws and regulations that protect drinking water. That's why we have the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act. Where the government get off thinking they can threaten our water supply, plug our wells used for drinking water, and destroy our environment? The government has no water! Water belongs to no one, every human being on earth has the right to safe and clean drinking water! At the time, anyone with a well in Brevard County will have drinking water! Injection wells caused cracks in the ceiling of Florida aquifer, which causes the aquifer to fill with sand creating holes. Arsenic is common in water of Central Florida and has been found in many drinking water wells. Each community in Brevard County and neighboring counties have similar water problems. Properly treat water, drinking water standards and channel. Boating, fishing, water skiing, picnicking, camping, etc.
