Hydrographic Internet Map Service

The purpose of this internet map service is to provide an online geographic interface to various types of water resources data compiled by the USGS as a part of ongoing studies in Florida. Depending on how the data are organized, one or more subsidiary sites will be developed for the data, starting with the Saline Intrusion Monitoring, Miami-Dade County, Florida site.

The software chosen to view and serve these data employs programming languages and techniques which may not be supported in all browsers. In addition, the USGS recognizes that online maps are not accessible to the entire public. Where possible, alternative web pages are provided so that the same basic data can be accessed using text-based navigation.

Saline Intrusion Monitoring, Miami-Dade County, Florida

This site has been developed as a part of a larger study investigating both the current extent of seawater encroachment into the Biscayne Aquifer and the hydrogeologic context in which intrusion is occurring. The study area itself includes most of Miami-Dade County, Florida.

The goals of this website are to:

• provide access to all of the salinity information collected as part of this project,
• provide access to data being collected from the modified USGS/Miami-Dade County monitoring network as it evolves,
• provide a resource for integrating new geographic data sets from other researchers and agencies working in the area

• Go to Saline Intrusion Monitoring, Miami-Dade County, Florida.
• Accessible support to this site is available through Salinity and Chloride Data, Sites in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
