7/20/2017

Here are a few important highlights from the North Florida Water Supply Plan (NFRWSP) Executive Summary:
  • The plan covers a 20-year planning period 
  • It was determined that groundwater alone cannot supply the projected 117 million gallons per day increase in water demand
  • The plan illustrates water conservation efforts which could potentially reduce the projected 2035 water demand by as much 54 million gallons per day. This represents 46% of the projected 117 mgd increase
  • The plan identifies an additional 160 mgd of potential project options to guide water users and suppliers including aquifer recharge, rehydration of wetlands and potable reuse, to alternative water supply sources like reclaimed and stormwater

Learn about water conservation efforts and minimum flows and levels from the North Florida Regional Water Supply Partnership. 

Water supply planning is an ongoing process, with enhanced scientific methodologies and new data acquired all the time. District staff are already working on the science and data collection for the plan’s five-year update.  Find details HERE.
