Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI) A collaborative effort to ensure a sustainable and adequate water supply for the 5 county region Guiding principles: Identify sustainable groundwater quantities for consumptive use w/o causing unacceptable harm Develop strategies to meet deficits above the sustainable groundwater yield Establish consistent rules and regulations

CFWI Findings Traditional groundwater sources can meet some, but not all projected needs in the CFWI. Areas that limit future groundwater availability based on measuring sticks Wekiva Springs/River System West Seminole County/West Orange County South Lake County Lake Wales Ridge Southern Water Use Caution Area * As presented by the Groundwater Availability Team at the August 16, 2013, CFWI Steering Committee meeting

Bottom Line Traditional groundwater sources are limited Utilities in the CFWI are very unlikely to acquire rights to additional, conventional groundwater supplies Central Florida utilities will need to develop alternative water supplies to meet future potable water demands
