Table 3. Public supply water withdrawals by County in Florida, 2015
공공데이터포털
In 2015, the total amount of water withdrawn for public supply in Florida was estimated at 2,385 million gallons per day (Mgal/d). Water withdrawals include 2,215 Mgal/d of fresh water and 170 Mgal/d of saline water. Fresh groundwater accounted for 1,909 Mgal/d of the water withdrawn and 169 Mgal/d of the saline groundwater withdrawn for public supply. Miami-Dade County accounted for the largest amount of fresh groundwater withdrawn (339 Mgal/d), Hillsborough County accounted for the largest amount of fresh surface water withdrawn (135 Mgal/d) and all of the saline surface water withdrawn (1 Mgal/d), and Lee County accounted for the largest amount of saline groundwater withdrawn (28 Mgal/d). All of the saline water withdrawn in 2015 was either treated through a desalination process or diluted with fresh water to meet current drinking water standards. The water withdrawn for public supply that required treatment to meet drinking water standards was labeled as fresh water in previous years, however, for 2015, these treated withdrawals were moved under the saline totals to meet the National Water-Use Programs new criteria.

In 2015, the total amount of water withdrawn in Florida was estimated at 15,319 million gallons per day (Mgal/d). This includes 9,598 Mgal/d of saline water and 5,721 Mgal/d of fresh water. The counties of Hillsborough (1,867 Mgal/d), Pasco (1,852 Mgal/d), St Lucie (1,559 Mgal/d), Palm Beach (1,341 Mgal/d), and Citrus (1,288 Mgal/d) accounted for most of the total water withdrawn in 2015. Pasco County withdrew the largest amount of saline water (1,775 Mgal/d) and Palm Beach withdrew the largest amount of freshwater (820 Mgal/d) in 2015.

In 2015, the total amount of water withdrawn in Florida was estimated at 15,319 million gallons per day (Mgal/d). This includes 9,598 Mgal/d of saline water and 5,721 Mgal/d of fresh water. Water for public supply accounted for the majority of fresh water withdrawn (2,215 Mgal/d) followed closely by agricultural self-supplied (2,089 Mgal/d) for 2015. The remaining fresh water was withdrawn for power generation (434 Mgal/d), commercial-industrial-mining self-supplied (409 Mgal/d), recreational-landscape irrigation (397 Mgal/d), and domestic self-supplied (177 Mgal/d). Water withdrawn for power generation accounted for the majority of saline water withdrawn (9,425 Mgal/d) for 2015, followed by public supply (170 Mgal/d), and commercial-industrial-mining self-supplied (3 Mgal/d). All of the saline water withdrawn for public supply is treated through a desalinization process or is diluted with fresh water to meet current drinking water standards.

In 2015, the total amount of water withdrawn for agricultural irrigation uses in Florida was estimated at 2,089 million gallons per day (Mgal/d). Withdrawals include water used for crop irrigation, freeze protection, livestock needs, and fish farming (aquaculture). Fresh surface water accounted for 1,078 Mgal/d of the fresh water withdrawn and1,011 Mgal/d was withdrawn from fresh groundwater sources. Palm Beach County accounted for the largest amount of fresh surface water withdrawn (513 Mgal/d), followed by Hendry County (257 Mgal/d), while Hendry County accounted for the largest amount of fresh groundwater withdrawn (123 Mgal/d) followed by Collier County (97 Mgal/d). No saline water was withdrawn for this category in 2015.
