1. What are the watering restrictions in the Suwannee River Water Management District?

When in effect, mandatory restrictions are posted in the News Flash area on the District’s home page. However, the District encourages all citizens to voluntarily conserve and to eliminate unnecessary water use.

2. Where can I get information on road flooding?

Many access roads become impassable before rivers reach flood stage. Contact your local emergency management coordinator about road flooding.

3. Where can I get a list of your technical reports on water resources and how can they be ordered?

Please contact Debbie Davidson by email at DAD@srwmd.org or by phone at 386.362.1001 for more information.

4. Is foaming in the river caused by pollution?

Foaming generally occurs during periods of high flow or high agitation of water. In most cases foaming is not caused by pollution. “Natural” foaming results from a variety of naturally occurring organic compounds in the water. As wind or currents stir the water foam is produced.

5. Is it likely that an agricultural irrigation well is affecting water levels in my residential well?

In most cases agricultural irrigation wells will have little to no effect on your residential well. Before the District issues a permit for any agricultural irrigation water use an evaluation is made to determine that no harm will be done to other existing and legal water users.
