Case History of Salt Water Encroachment Caused by a Storm Sewer in Miami
This article presents a case history of saltwater intrusion in the Biscayne aquifer that was caused by installation of a storm sewer beneath a road grade. The possible detrimental effects of the drainage system were called to the attention of officials of the Dade County Water Control Office and the Miami Department of Water and Sewers. Plans were formulated for the construction of a salinity control dam made of sheet steel piles at the outlet of the storm sewer to Biscayne Bay. Two years passed before the dam was installed, providing an excellent opportunity for observing the movement of saltwater in the aquifer under uncontrolled drainage conditions and later under controlled conditions. This article presents these observations by a series of water table and isochlor contour maps.
