Description: A point feature class representing the Watershed Monitoring Section's STATUS network sampled freshwater resources including unconfined aquifers, confined aquifers, small lakes, large lakes, small streams and large rivers. The Status Network consists of 29 statewide reporting units which geographically coincide with the State's TMDL basins. The overall statewide sample design provides for the sampling of the entire state within a five-year period (e.g., 1999-2003, 2004-2008).
Description: This dataset is a polyline feature class representing the Watershed Monitoring Program's Flowing Waters (Rivers, Streams, and Canals) resource coverages across the state of Florida.

Description: A point feature class representing statewide stations (wells, springs, streams, rivers, canals, and lakes) sampled by the Watershed Monitoring Section's Temporal Variability (TV), or trend, monitoring network.. The purposes of the TV network are to correlate other FDEP data with seasonal climatic change (i.e., is sampling occurring during wet or dry hydrologic condition), to make best estimates of temporal variance of sampled analytes within the USGS drainage basins, and to determine how these analytes are changing over time. More information on this network may be found at http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/monitoring/trend.htm
Description: A point feature class representing statewide stations (wells and canals) sampled by the Watershed Monitoring Section's historical Very Intense Study Area (VISA) Monitoring Network. This network monitored specific areas of the state that are believed to be highly susceptible to ground water contamination, based on predominant land use and hydrogeology. Monitoring within each VISA was designed to examine the effects of multiple sources of contamination on water quality within a segment of the aquifer. More information on the VISA network may be found at http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/monitoring/visa_net.htm.
