Where does most 90% of Florida's drinkable water come from?
Where does most 90% of Florida's drinkable water come from? In Florida, most of the fresh water we use comes from underground aquifers. Aquifers are composed of multiple layers of porous rock, such as limestone or sandstone, that hold and transmit water. Cities and towns, businesses and agriculture draw much of their water supplies from these aquifers.
Why is Florida water so clean?
Our shores have shallow waters often resulting in sandbars, so the sun can reflect off the white sea floors and the surrounding microscopic plankton, which creates the gradient effect of clear-to-emerald-to azure-to-navy waters as you progress further out into the Gulf.
