Florida’s Water Resources About 54 inches of rain annually 7,700 lakes 50,000 miles of rivers and streams 700 springs (largest concentration in the world)

Water Consumption Consequences Groundwater depletion: Dries out wetlands Lowers lake levels Reduces spring flows Increases occurrence of sinkholes Impairs water quality from saltwater intrusion

Comparison of average gallons per household per day 4

Typical Residential Water Use
