Interim report on surface water resources of Baker County, Florida
The principal sources of surface-water supplies inBakerCounty are the St. Marys River and its tributaries. However,the flow of many of the small tributaries is intermittent, andwithout storage they are not dependable sources of supplyduring sustained periods of deficient rainfall.Of the six stream-gaging stations in Baker County forwhich complete records are available, one has been in operationfor 31 years and provides a long-term record upon whichto base correlative estimates for extending the short-term records at the other stations. All available streamflow datato 1957 have been summarized in graphic or tabular form.The hydrologic balance between minimum streamflowsand increased evaporation losses afforded by potential shallowreservoirs provides design criteria for determining the maximumsurface area of effective reservoir that can be createdat a selected site within Baker County. This information hasbeen presented in graphic and tabular form in the report.(PDF has 37 pages.)
