Florida's Water Report
Florida's water report card for 2016. Florida has a population of approximately 20 million people. With the population constantly growing Florida water is under constant pressure. Coastal waters: Florida's coast line is 825 miles of sandy beaches. Of that 825 miles approximately 410 miles are in a critical erosion state (www.infrastructurereportcard.org). Erosion is most likely caused by more direct access to inland waterways for commercial ships (www.infrastructurereportcard.org). Drinking water: In some parts of Florida a chemical known as PFAS, perfluorooctanesulfonic, has been found in Florida's drinking water. This chemical comes from military fire training and private airports (www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/toxic-chemicals-drinking-water/). The minimum reporting levels by the EPA were found in 194 of 4864 water supplies throughout the United States. Florida being one of 13 states making up 75% of the detention of PFAS.
