    • Table 3. Public supply water withdrawals by County in Florida, 2015

    Metadata Updated: January 20, 2026

    In 2015, the total amount of water withdrawn for public supply in Florida was estimated at 2,385 million gallons per day (Mgal/d). Water withdrawals include 2,215 Mgal/d of fresh water and 170 Mgal/d of saline water. Fresh groundwater accounted for 1,909 Mgal/d of the water withdrawn and 169 Mgal/d of the saline groundwater withdrawn for public supply. Miami-Dade County accounted for the largest amount of fresh groundwater withdrawn (339 Mgal/d), Hillsborough County accounted for the largest amount of fresh surface water withdrawn (135 Mgal/d) and all of the saline surface water withdrawn (1 Mgal/d), and Lee County accounted for the largest amount of saline groundwater withdrawn (28 Mgal/d). All of the saline water withdrawn in 2015 was either treated through a desalination process or diluted with fresh water to meet current drinking water standards. The water withdrawn for public supply that required treatment to meet drinking water standards was labeled as fresh water in previous years, however, for 2015, these treated withdrawals were moved under the saline totals to meet the National Water-Use Programs new criteria.
