Low streamflow in the Myakka River Basin Area in Florida
The Sarasota-Manatee area is a water-short area and the studywas undertaken in 1963 in order to determine the storage capabilityand discharge rates of the Myakka water shed. It was foundthat many of the streams of the water shed were virtually dryduring part of every year. However, the basins of the Myakkalakes, through which the river flows offer some storage potential,that if properly developed would provide a continuance drift ofabout seven million gallons of water per day of good quality waterthat would be high in color and temperature upon occasion. Withreasonable treatment some of this water could be used to meetthe present needs of the rapidly expanding coastal areas. (PDF contains 40 pages.)
