LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL STATE BOARD QF CONSERVATION Division of Geology Tallahassee January 26, 1968 Governor Claude R. Kirk, Chairman State Board of Conservation Tallahassee, Florida Dear Governor Kirk: The Division of Geology of the Florida Board of Conservation is publishing as our Report of Investigations No. 50, a study of the water resources of Orange County, Florida, prepared by Lichtler, Anderson and Joyner of the U. S. Geological Survey. This report is a cooperative study between the Orange County Commission, the Division of Geology, and the U. S. Geological Survey. With the anticipated urban expansion of Orange County that will be accompanied with the development of Disney World, the water resources of the area must be adequate to meet the demands of an expansion that will change a swamp to an urban area in a space of five years. We feel that the water resources of Orange County are adequate to meet these demands and we are proud to be able to contribute in a substantial way to the development of the area. Respectfully yours, Robert O. Vernon Director and State Geologist ROV :lam iII
