Present investigations
The work whose results are here recorded was undertaken as a
part of a comprehensive investigation of the ground-water resources of the State, provided by a cooperative-agreement made in 1930 between the Florida Geological Survey and the United States Geological Survey. The work is under the supervision of 0. E. Meinzer, geologist in charge of the division of ground water, United States Geological Survey, and Herman Gunter, state geologist of Florida.
