The purpose of this study is to refine the hydrogeological framework of the region to facilitate science-based decision making with regard to the protection, conservation and management of southwest Florida’s water resources.

Data from more than 1050 wells (including offshore boreholes) serve as control for these surfaces. In addition, synthetic wells were used to provide lateral (edge) control during map surface interpolation. These wells represent an artificial stratigraphic record for a given location based on interpolated elevations from existing maps or cross sections. The new surface and thickness maps presented herein were developed using the ESRI© geographic information system (GIS) program ArcMAP.
