6 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Daily records of rainfall were collected at 24 stations located as shown in the figures on pages 2 and 5. Some of these records are from U. S. Weather Bureau long-term stations. Short-term rainfall records were collected at stream or well data-collection stations during part of the investigation using standard 8-inch gages with tipping-bucket attachments to the water-stage recorders. Surface-water characteristics of the area were determined by collecting stage, streamflow, and chemical-quality data at gaging stations and at miscellaneous sites; by making field and aerial reconnaissance of the area; and by studying maps and aerial photographs. All surface-water data-collection stations are presented in table 1 and located in figure 2 and in the figure on page 5. The grid coordinate number shown in column 2 of table 1 is based on the Figure 3. Diagram showing the well-numbering system used in Florida.
