The Floridan Aquifer

A great image about the Floridan Aquifer from http://www.gohydrology.org/2010/12/submerged-sea.html

The Floridan Aquifer is a far ways down … Especially on the south peninsula where it’s buried a thousand feet.

But poke a hole in it with a pipe and its water flows straight to the surface, sort of like an artesian spring. As prodigious a water source as that sounds, ever so tempting to tap, don’t forget that it’s packed with a bunch of dissolved solids too.
