Appraisal of the water resources of eastern Palm Beach County, Florida

"Rapid population growth in the eastern coastal areas of Palm Beach County is applying increased pressure on many natural resources including fresh water. Water in the shallow aquifer is slightly contaminated at shallow depths in the immediate vicinity of the Cross State Solid Waste Disposal Area. The contaminants probably stay near the water table and are filtered out by the sand."@en
"To assure that the fresh water-supply will remain adequate, much hydrologic information is needed for water management and land-use decisions. One of the most pressing problems is the existing and potential pollution of the hundreds of miles of canals that is being increased by runoff that carries nutrients from the farms and ranches and by discharge of waste water from sewage plants. The purpose of this report is to provide water-management agencies much of the information needed to plan for the protection and orderly development of water resources."@en
