Dixon, J.F. and Christesson, K.R., GIS shapefile and related summary data describing irrigated agricultural land use for the 15 counties fully within the Northwest Florida Water Management District, Florida, 2021: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9WXJPA4.

Summary

A Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefile and summary tables of irrigated agricultural land-use are provided for the 15 counties fully within the Northwest Florida Water Management District (Bay, Calhoun, Escambia, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Leon, Liberty, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Wakulla, Walton, and Washington counties). These files were compiled through a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Agricultural Water Policy. Information provided in the shapefile includes the location of irrigated lands that were verified during field surveying that started in May 2021 and concluded in August 2021. Field data collected were crop [...]

Purpose

The data release provides a detailed digital field-verified shapefile of irrigated agricultural land-use within the 15 counties that are fully within the Northwest Florida Water Management District, Florida and a table summarizing the results for field trips from May 2021 and August 2021 to verify crop types and irrigation method. The land-use shapefile and acreage tables produced for this study were compared to the Florida Statewide Agricultural Irrigation Demand (FSAID) Irrigated Lands Geodatabase (IGL), version VIII (The Balmoral Group, 2021) totals for the 15 counties that are fully within the Northwest Florida Water Management District. Field-verified data on crop type, irrigated lands, and acreage summaries provide FDACS a more accurate basis for estimating current and future water demands.
