Groundwater Level Average C Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps the average groundwater levels across Miami-Dade's Biscayne Aquifer from 2010-2019, showing how deep or shallow the water table sits beneath our feet. It's crucial for understanding flooding risk, planning construction projects, and managing our most important drinking water source as sea levels and development pressures increase.
Why This Matters
- A developer planning a new building checks groundwater elevation data to design appropriate foundations and stormwater management systems for their site.
- A homeowner in a flood-prone area uses this to understand their property's vulnerability to saltwater intrusion and groundwater flooding.
- City planners evaluate aquifer health trends to inform decisions about infrastructure resilience and drinking water sustainability.
