By Marylou Forbes


Among all the other resources, water has the greatest value when it comes to life situation. Even without solid food to take for a month, you can still live by just taking it in. However, even though it is this important for survival, it is still important that it be free from contamination. So it means that you have to make sure of its safety.

Basically, if there is any kind of contamination in this resource, you will really be dealing with a lot of mess concerning health. That is why in this generation, there are already measures employed in order to avoid circumstances like this such as distilling, etc. But then, there is a certain benefit which can be found from a natural source such as groundwater in Florida.

If you think about it, groundwater seemed to be awfully dirty since it comes from underneath the soil. And speaking of soil, you would naturally be able to associate it with germs, bacteria, and all other sorts of microorganisms found in the soil. But in truth, it is a very clean source much more than you think.

That is because even if it is situated underground, it actually has a natural process of cleaning itself. And so to speak, even if it is not purified and distilled the way purified drinking sources are this time, it is still safe to drink. Actually, before, when the world was still unpolluted from all the activities which people do, they can even drink directly from these sources.

Due to this, it is no longer safe to just take it in. That is why in Florida various programs are administered to ensure its cleanliness and safety. After all, they rely on groundwater in all their activities. Hence, they established a program which will work on the safety of this very valuable resource in their day to day living.

Aside from that, this is the source which provides all the bodies of water with its endless supply of things. With more specification, ninety percent of the citizens of Florida actually rely on the underground resource. And fifty percent of this is utilized in areas such as mining, agriculture, electric power generation supply, etc.

Other than that, this resource inputs all the other bodies of water such as lakes, springs, and rivers. So in order to preserve these things, the state provided a method which will look over the matter. So taking this into consideration, there are two programs initiated by the state to take care of these things and they are the Aquifer Protection and the Ground Water Management Programs.

Now, the groundwater management program is responsible for evaluating and addressing groundwater resources affecting the surface water quality by conducting assessment. This assessment identifies if there are any contaminations in it. This way, a remedy can be thought of before disaster strike.

While the aquifer protection program is responsible for the implementation and the support of regulatory programs which affect the groundwater. Actually, in Florida, the quality of this resource is the safest. That is because its standards are equivalent to the drinking resource standards. So when it comes to this resource, there is really nothing to worry about.
