Abstract
Aerial photo-interpretation, GIS analysis, and groundwater modeling were employed to determine the impact of permitted groundwater withdrawal, primarily for agricultural irrigation, on protected wetland communities within Jonathan Dickinson State Park (JDSP), Martin County Florida. Since 1952, much of the wetland habitat has succeeded to terrestrial pine flatwoods in the southwestern section of the wilderness preserve of JDSP. The drying trend can not be linked to natural hydrologic impact, but strongly correlates to groundwater drawdown calculated using a three-dimensional groundwater computer model.
