Technical Reports
This web page contains a historical collection of technical reports and publications created by District staff during the course of their work.
Annual Regulatory Plans
The Annual Regulatory Plan (ARP) is a legislatively mandated report which requires the Northwest Florida Water Management District to review its current rules to insure compliance with statutory requirements.
Consolidated Annual Reports
This Consolidated Annual Report consolidates several legislatively mandated plans and reports regarding the status of Northwest Florida Water Management District programs and water resources.
Critical Wetlands Reports
The Critical Wetlands Report identifies specific properties that could be considered critical wetlands, as defined by Florida statute.
SWIM Plans
SWIM plans are developed to address, on a watershed basis, cumulative anthropogenic impacts on water quality and aquatic habitats. They incorporate comprehensive strategies to both restore and to protect watershed resources. Implementation is accomplished through a variety of activities, such as retrofitting stormwater management systems to improve water quality and flood protection, restoring wetland and aquatic habitats, evaluating resource conditions and freshwater needs, protecting and restoring springs, and providing public outreach and awareness.
Water Management Plans
The District develops a Strategic Water Management Plan annually to define the responsibilities of the District, as well as the agency’s objectives, strategies, and success criteria.
Five-Year Water Resource Development Work Programs
The District updates its Five-Year Water Resource Development Work Program annually to provide a description of activities and funding to continue implementation of the District’s Regional Water Supply Plans.
Miscellaneous Aquifer Pump Test Results
This web page contain historical results of aquifer pump tests performed throughout Northwest Florida.
Water Supply Plans and Assessments
Every five years, the District updates its Water Supply Assessment to evaluate whether existing and anticipated water sources are sufficient to meet future demands while sustaining water resources and associated natural systems. If the District determines that a region’s water needs are likely to exceed available water sources in the next 20 years, the District will prepare a Regional Water Supply Plan, which identifies alternatives for meeting the anticipated future water needs (as required by section 373.709, F.S.).
Florida Forever Work Plans
Section 373.199(7), Florida Statutes, requires the District to annually update the Florida Forever Work Plan. This plan, which is also presented as a separate chapter in the Consolidated Annual Report, contains information on projects eligible to receive funding under the Florida Forever Act and also reports on land management activities, lands surplused and the progress of funding, staffing, and resource management of projects for which the District is responsible.
Springs Inventories
Spring inventories are a vital component of efforts to protect springs. District staff has conducted inventories of springs along the Chipola River, Choctawhatchee River, Econfina Creek, Holmes Creek, and St. Marks, and Wakulla rivers.
