Question
Most Floridians get water for the homes from which reservoir?
Solution
Most Floridians get water for their homes from the Floridan Aquifer system. This is one of the major sources of groundwater in the United States and it underlies all of Florida and parts of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina. The aquifer system is composed of two main layers, the Upper Floridan Aquifer and the Lower Floridan Aquifer, separated by a layer of lower permeability sediments. The water is pumped from wells that tap into this underground reservoir.
