Hydrology of Lake Carroll, Hillsborough County, Florida
S.E. Henderson, R.D. Hayes, Y.E. Stoker
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4261
Lakeshore property around Lake Carroll has undergone extensive residential development since 1960. This development increased the lake shoreline, altered surface water flow to and from the lake, and may have affected lake-stage characteristics. Some areas of the lake were dredged to provide fill material for lakefront property. Water-balance analyses for...
