Dixon, J.F., and Christesson, K.R., 2024, GIS shapefile and summary tables of the extent of irrigated agricultural land use for 11 counties fully or partially within the St. Johns River Water Management District Florida, 2022–23: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9T5SFC5.

Summary

Individual county tables summarizing the inventoried acreage by crop type and irrigation system were compiled for 11 counties: Brevard, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Indian River, Nassau, Osceola, Putnam, Seminole, St. Johns, and Volusia. The irrigated acreage totals were derived from analyses of satellite and aerial imagery. Crop types and irrigation system types were verified during field trips that started in November 2022 and concluded in August 2023. In addition, the tables provide acreage totals by crop type reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture from 1987 through 2017, and Florida Statewide Agricultural Irrigation Demand for 2019-20.

Purpose

A detailed inventory of irrigated acreage is needed to accurately estimate current agricultural water use and to provide a basis to project future demands. The primary purpose of these tables is to provide a summary of irrigated acreage by county that can be used to help estimate water use by crop type. The project is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey - Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center (USGS - CFWSC) and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Office of Agricultural Water Policy that is designed to spatially map, field-verify, and summarize all irrigated agricultural acreage for each county across the State of Florida.
