A wetland is…. Wetland habitats vary depending on biotic
and abiotic factors What biotic and abiotic factors would make
these wetlands different: A freshwater wetland A mangrove wetland
Florida Wetlands

A freshwater wetland Abiotic:
Tannins Silt, clay, other
sediment Karst
Biotic: Cypress trees Tape grass Alligators Oaks
Florida Wetlands
A mangrove wetland Abiotic:
Salt Sand
Biotic: Mangroves (3 kinds) Barnacles Estuary animals Oysters

Were there dinosaurs in Florida? Sea animals left bones, shells, exoskeletons Compressed over thousands/millions of
years, became limestone Clay from mountains washed down Erosion created sand
Florida’s Geologic History

Aquifer
These layers created the Floridan Aquifer One of the most productive aquifers in
the world Underlies southern Alabama, south-
eastern Georgia, southern South Carolina, and all of Florida; total of about 100,000 miles
![Page 13: Miami – Dade Teacher Training 2013](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56812fda550346895d9551b9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The layers of the aquifer clean water Provides water for us:
Water withdrawals for public supply in Florida in 2005 totaled 2,541 Mgal/d. Ground water supplied 2,201 Mgal/d (87 percent) and surface water supplied nearly 340 Mgal/d (13 percent). (http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2008/3080/)
Importance of the Aquifer

Any land that water touches on its way to a water body.
Everyone and everything is part of a watershed.
Where does your school’s watershed drain to?
Watershed

Public supply (52 percent) and agricultural irrigation (31 percent) used the largest volumes of fresh ground water in 2005, followed by commercial-industrial-mining self-supplied (8.5 percent), domestic self-supplied (4 percent), recreational irrigation (4 percent), and power generation (0.5 percent). (http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2008/3080/)
Water usage

There is no new water The smallest changes can equal large
savings
Water Conservation

Is more than evaporation, precipitation and condensation.
Every living thing on the planet is a potential part of the water cycle.
The water cycle cleans and recycles ALL the water on the planet.
