Zhang, J.Z., and Renshaw, C., 2024, Shapefile and summary tables for the approximate inland extent of saltwater intrusion at the base of the Biscayne aquifer in 2022, Miami-Dade County, Florida: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P13TSEEA.
Summary
Tables were created to summarize well information, maximum chloride concentrations and specific conductance data sourced from Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority (FKAA), Florida Power and Light Company (FPL), MacVicar Consulting Inc., and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) during 2022. The summary tables here provide the information used to create the 1,000-mg/L isochlor in ArcGIS Pro. A table listing the USGS sites used to develop a regression between chloride concentration and specific conductance is also included in this release.
Summary

The summary tables here provide the information used to create the 1,000-mg/L isochlor in ArcGIS Pro. A table listing the USGS sites used to develop a regression between chloride concentration and specific conductance is also included in this release.
The purpose of the summary tables is to provide well information, maximum chloride concentrations and specific conductance data that were used to update the position of the 1,000-mg/L isochlor in the Biscayne aquifer in Miami-Dade County in 2022. The 1,000-mg/L isochlor was last mapped in 2018.
