Ground-water resources of the lower Hillsboro Canal area, Southeastern Florida
This study was done to determine the amount and kinds of water beingproduced from the lower Hillsboro Canal Area in Palm Beach andBroward counties.All of the potable ground water being produced from theBiscayne aquifer is developed from the canal through infiltration.Rainfall in the area is the ultimate source for all of the water.Careful control and management will allow the development oflarge quantities of water from the canal toward Lake Okeechobee, buta fresh water head must be maintained along the contact of fresh waterwith sea water to prevent salt water intrusion.
