Drought and nitrates endanger Florida's springs
Drought and nitrate pollution are significant threats to Florida's natural springs, as highlighted at the Santa Fe Springs Celebration in High Springs. Rainfall deficits, exceeding 15 inches in north central Florida, have led to diminished groundwater levels, which are essential for the health of the springs. Nitrate pollution, primarily from fertilizers, exacerbates the issue by fueling excessive algae growth, disrupting ecosystems and turning the waters murky green.
