Abstract
Water-supply problems in southwest Florida are largely related to the quality, or deterioration in the quality of the water, rather than to the quantity of water available. When we consider that the abundant supply of water visible at the surface is only a fraction of the quantity stored in the ground-water reservoir beneath the surface, we are likely to conclude that the quantity of water available is more than adequate to meet present and future needs. However, because of certain natural factors, combined with those related to man's use, the supply of water of good quality is limited.
