Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida Historical Society Stetson Kennedy Award Florida Book Awards, Bronze Medal for Florida Nonfiction America’s wettest state is running out of water. Florida—with its swamps, lakes, extensive coastlines, and legions of life-giving springs—faces a drinking water crisis. Drying Up is a wake-up call and a hard look at what the future holds for those who call Florida home. Journalist and educator John Dunn untangles the many causes of the state’s freshwater problems. Drainage projects, construction, and urbanization, especially in the fragile wetlands of South Florida, have changed and shrunk natural water systems. Pollution, failing infrastructure, increasing outbreaks of toxic algae blooms, and pharmaceutical contamination are worsening water quality. Climate change, sea level rise, and groundwater pumping are spoiling freshwater resources with saltwater intrusion. Because of shortages, fights have broken out over rights to the Apalachicola River, Lake Okeechobee, the Everglades, and other important watersheds. Many scientists think Florida has already passed the tipping point, Dunn warns. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews and years of research, he affirms that soon there will not be enough water to meet demand if “business as usual” prevails. He investigates previous and current restoration efforts as well as proposed future solutions, including the “soft path for water” approach that uses green infrastructure to mimic natural hydrology. As millions of new residents are expected to arrive in Florida in the coming decades, this book is a timely introduction to a problem that will escalate dramatically—and not just in Florida. Dunn cautions that freshwater scarcity is a worldwide trend that can only be tackled effectively with cooperation and single-minded focus by all stakeholders involved—local and federal government, private enterprise, and citizens. He challenges readers to rethink their relationship with water and adopt a new philosophy that compels them to protect the planet’s most precious resource.

Download or read book Climate Change and Sea Level Rise in South Florida written by Risa Palm and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Florida is frequently cited as the part of the United State of America as most susceptible to the devastation accompanying sea level rise. Several scholarly studies have shown the negative impact of coastal location in Florida on housing values. Are the residents of South Florida concerned? Is susceptibility to sea level rise actually affecting the housing market in terms of demand, the availability of home mortgages, or house prices? Are people living at particular risk from sea level rise aware of this risk and more open to new information about climate change? Do they support policies and laws to mitigate the pace and extent of climate change? Answers to these questions are not only of general interest, but they are also key to our understanding of the human dimensions of this problem. This book describes the results of a detailed survey in which respondents viewed a local map displaying flooding to their own community that would result from a Category 3 hurricane in 2033. It discusses political party identification and ideology that has an overwhelming impact in shaping views about sea level rise and climate change. This book has enormous implications for the effectiveness of communicating risk information. The text is important if we, as a nation, are to design communication strategies that will lead to broader policy to combat or mitigate this risk.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Florida Triangulation, Traverse and Leveling, Vol. 1: Lambert Projection It is also true that, when the existing corners Whose locations can be accurately established are defined geographically, those corners Whose location is now questionable may be accurately recovered and permanently described. As each new point is established, it will fit into a correlated scheme of the whole county and the county as a unit will fit to all its neighbors to form a unified plan of the whole state, accurate in detail and of permanent value.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reliable method is presented for the prediction of convective precipitation in south Florida. Total area diverence is statistically related to area rainfall as derived by radar in a mesoscale region on the order of 1400 sq km. Various network grids and sizes are examined to find the best scale to measure total area divergence. The response of visible clouds to surface convergence is investigated with time-lapse photographs taken in the FACE mesonetwork. One case study of a convective storm complex as measured by Doppler radar and surface pressure data is presented. Finally, vertical adjustment factors are determined for surface winds under varying meteorological conditions and time of day. (Author).
