Groundwater Level Average October C Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps the average groundwater elevation across Miami-Dade County during October, based on 10 years of data (2010-2019) from the Biscayne Aquifer. It's essential for understanding how water tables fluctuate seasonally and for designing infrastructure like drainage systems, foundations, and flood mitigation projects that need to account for groundwater depth.
Why This Matters
- A developer planning a new residential community checks this map to understand seasonal groundwater levels before designing foundation depths and drainage systems
- An environmental consultant assesses how October groundwater conditions might affect a proposed underground parking garage or basement construction project
- A homeowner in a flood-prone neighborhood uses this data to understand their property's groundwater risk during the wetter fall season
