Florida's aquifer adventure - Florida Geological Survey Video 2

[@katmahbub]

This video was made in 2004 as part of the now unfunded "Springs Initiative." So well done. There are now over 19M people in Florida.

[@brittanylamb9205]

Watched this with my girls tonight. After so many years you might not even be here anymore but if you are can you ever believe that so many people are now moving here? Over 855 people a day. Our aquifer is such a beautiful blessing I pray we can continue using it especially with all the growth and the drought

[@ascendantindigo271]

It's unfunded so people don't find out that Drinking Spring Water [with naturally occurring electrolytes] actually reverses aging and keeps you youthful physically and mentally. The Lost Fountain of Youth was never Lost. It was hidden. Ever wondered why Spring Water is Real Costly ? They don't have to add anything to it. It comes out of the ground for free yet it's still more expensive then a 12pk of Soda Pops that has 30 additives in each can. Time for our own Artesian Wells.

[@ascendantindigo271]

Forgot to mention that my statement is based off personal observation. I get mistaken for a young guy because the water activates a deeper connection to consciousness. This connection "when sustained" reverses aging and restores a youthful outlook. Sodium Fluoride is a certified Neuro Toxin and should be banned.

I have allways wanted to dive in these kinds of caves

[@JuNe-ne6yx]

Thank you for your detailed report of the aquifer-rich Florida. How interesting and a lot to learn.

[@ascendantindigo271]

I object..The word "Aquifer" actually refers to a closed off water system that's impervious to ground water infiltration... According to the 4 types of underground water systems.

[@jdbad-elk9718]

This video is excellent. Very informative, yet concise. I think these Florida Geologist really know their stuff.

[@chazchavara3192]

I love those springs!

[@TolgaEastCoast]

Well done and well explained. Will hope to take benefit from this as revision material for the AS-Level Environmental Management Paper 2.

[@johanmassy5290]

Very educational and important information detrimental to all of our lives. Thank you for uploading this.

[@doddigerhardt3776]

Really good job, guys, for putting this together and on the web. I learned a lot and have shared this with many friends. Wonderful video footage and very well explained. Thank you!

[@ShivamMishra-xs1fq]

Suk ma dik.. hahaha

[@user-tb2jy9lu3d]

Amazing quality. Even set at 360p, it looks like most 720p videos.

[@matthewgregory8218]

So aquifer is a life underground ?

[@jasoncampbell8468]

I scuba dive in a lot of those springs, they are beautiful.

[@mymusicmen13]

Jason Campbell I envy you

[@gameplaychannel1309]

@@Shadows-RC Damm ur jealous af

[@JASONH01]

I live in Central Florida and have a well, I tried to hit the aquifer because it would've been great water but we couldn't and the driller said he's never hit the aquifer here. We went doe 176 feet got really cold water but the quality isn't that good. Even though I love in an area where there's springs all around I couldn't touch the aquifer. I know someone that lives south of me around 39 minutes he dug his well by hand he hit water at 15 feet deep and his water is pure and cold just like a spring head. It's hit or miss I guess..

[@PushinWaterFishing]

Great vid!

[@zachengstler6615]

I bet they protect the hell out of those aquifers. do they have security on them?

[@urbanwarchief]

Nah people go down there to kill themselves

[@carloserivera1813]

Ponce De lion springs is amazing

[@ismaelmunoz2544]

so cool and helpful it helped me in my project(about water)

[@deborahlynnprather9162]

Jan, 2023. Flooded in 2020?! So is all well now?

[@KMR1776]

wait. so the land is just floating on a underground spring?

[@MustangSallyB1atch]

Be honest, did you watch the video? No, we are not floating on aquifers. Water from rain or snow melt mixes with organic matter in rivers and lakes, which acidifies the water. The acidified water creates underground caves which the water fills. Think of the land as a sponge that is saturated with water. What the land we stand on IS floating on is the magma under the earth’s crust.

[@eliseolopez2790]

How many discharge artesian springs are there in this state

[@JRGio]

Absolutely love this video, however, 16 minutes in, It is mentioned that the average Floridian uses 100 gallons per day of water. That has to include industries and businesses. The math just doesn't add up without that included.

[@oogalook]

I have a problem with 16:04 "The average Floridian uses *more than 100 gallons of water each day* for household purposes." What the actual hell, FGS guys. Were we supposed to just say, "Man, those Florida people really wash a lot of dishes"? This is totally absurd! A dishwasher uses about 6 gallons of water per cycle, and a ten-minute shower takes about 20 gallons. I can imagine a person would wash his or her hands with maybe 4 gallons of water throughout the day. Where the heck is the alleged Floridian putting the other 70 gallons? It's not like they have to water the lawn. Just trying to slip this gem into the documentary makes me tear my hair, dude.

[@DrReginaldFinleySr]

Lawn care, drinking water, pools, car washing, etc.. some citizens use more than that. I wouldn't think 100 myself. Perhaps 50 at most for my family. Then again, that's not a scientific determination.

[@elyzanavarrio]

First off, how do you make your thing bold? I really want to know... Second, you know, there are some families that have five members and don't forget the people who do baths, like babies. Sprinklers, water to drink, washing the dishes, laundry, showers, maybe even DIY's, pets, and things like that, they all need water

[@oogalook]

Elyza Navarrio It talks about individual Floridians- each member of the family is supposed to use 100 gallons. Is each family member gonna run a load of laundry and wash a load of dishes every day? Watering the lawn would take a lot, true, but Florida is one of the rainiest states in the union- they wouldn't need to water. The calculation I did is conservative, but the amount a person drinks per day is a gallon or less. I can imagine a person taking a Hollywood shower or a bath, but that only brings the estimate up by like 20 or 30 gallons, leaving the prodigal bather at around 70 gallons out of their 100. And the figure is given as an average, meaning it doesn't expect people to take such abnormally long showers. The margin of their overestimate is what's so startling.That's what I was calling them out on. Anyway, to make stuff bold, you just put an asterisk on each side of the phrase. Cheers.

[@hannahrw13]

+Oogalook +Elyza Navarrio Floridians probably still water their lawns because it can get hot there, and even though it rains a lot (its not always guaranteed) , the grass needs water and so do the plants.

[@twobrothers2887]

Oogalook that's not true. it rains a lot here. we buy our water just like everybody else.

[@rshots1530]

"reports directly to the Deputy Secretary for Land & Recreation in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection". So what.

[@carloserivera1813]

The Bortex springs waters temperature rates about 50 degrees at times

[@2007dolphinlover]

Well done :D

[@k.pramodreddy2646]

nice explanation

[@caio-jl6qw]

very informative

[@carloserivera1813]

But High levels of sulfur are present withing some aqua fears

[@goenyirivera584]

is good information

[@orange70383]

Who built the canal system in south florida, and no it wasn't indians.

[@Slipmahoney21]

orange70383 They were dug by developers to drain and build up with the dirt swampy areas near the rivers and creeks making them buildable with the added benefit of having a dock with boat access to the ocean. In Pompano Beach, they dug out Cypress Creek and the surrounding Cypress Swamp to build canal front homes. Not good for the environment as it totally destroyed the original creek, but made awesome homesites.

[@johanmassy5290]

No, native americans if that is what you meant when you wrote "Indians" did not build them but as previous viewer replied - white settlers/developers did & like most of their endeavours it's led to demise of our natural resources. In this case the most vital one - our freshwater.

[@ndane2]

Mostly the Army core of engineers but also the south Florida water management district built many.

[@carloserivera1813]

So Botex springs

[@doodoobrn]

Do you hear this? No pesticides, no hairspray, no crazy cleaning products, nothing!!! Its ALL going in your drinking water eventually!

[@Dman9fp]

Asking us to live like savages!? Nahhh the true problem is we can't all look like Brad Pitt or Kimmy K. Just throw money at environmental departments, they'll figure it out xD (but seriously, a shocking amount of our "needs" aren't truly needs)

[@lucianakueker5001]

I want to reply to serg. No simps don't tell me that I am still hot and didn't hit the wall. I don't need a man to tell me something that I can easily look in the mirror and see for myself. I am STILL BEAUTIFUL AND I CAN GET ANY MAN I WANT CHADS AND ALL.
