The District proposes to reserve from allocation to a water use permit all surface water flowing through the canals depicted in red in Figure 1. Withdrawals of surface water will also not be permitted from facility intakes physically located within the surface water column of the “Nearshore Central Biscayne Bay”. Existing legal uses of this water at the time of rule adoption will not be affected by the water reservation. This reservation also does not affect surface water from canals outside of the identified protected canals and groundwater. The water reservation does not affect the blue portions of the canal reaches shown in Figure 1.
