Ground-water resources of the Oakland Park area of eastern Broward County, Florida
The Oakland Park area obtains its water from the Biscayne aquifer,S composed of very permeable and porous, sandy limestones. The per-3 meability of the aquifer increases with depth, and wells in the area<\ generally obtain water at depths ranging from 60 to 80 feet, or betweenS 100 and 200 feet, depending on the quantity of water desired. Thedata presented in this paper can be used for further development ofwater and wise management of resources in the area. Large quantitiesS of ground water are still available at Oakland Park, if salt-water encroachmentcan be controlled. The data in this study provide the necessaryinformation to begin an effective water management program.(PDF has 49 pages)
