Now more than ever, every drop counts. 💧
Simple actions like limiting outdoor watering, fixing leaks, and reducing unnecessary water use can make a difference across our communities.

🌳💧 Ever wonder why a cypress tree is in our logo?
It’s not just a symbol — it represents the heart of Florida’s natural systems.
Cypress trees are perfectly adapted to life in the water and play a major role in keeping our ecosystems healthy:
🌿 They naturally filter water by trapping sediments and nutrients
🌊 They help reduce flooding by slowing and storing water
🦅 They provide habitat for birds, fish, and other wildlife
🌳 And they can live for hundreds of years
You’ll find these iconic trees across many of our District lands — standing strong in wetlands and along waterways.
That’s why the cypress tree is part of our logo — it reflects our mission to protect water, support wildlife, and preserve Florida’s natural resources.
📍 Next time you see one, take a moment to appreciate everything it does.

💧 Beneath our feet lies one of Florida’s greatest hidden resources.
This map shows the top of the Floridan aquifer across the St. Johns River Water Management District — a vast underground water source that helps supply drinking water, supports springs, rivers, wetlands, and fuels life across our region.
Those lines represent changes in elevation below ground, helping scientists better understand how water moves through the aquifer system. 🌎
Protecting water doesn’t just happen on the surface — it starts underground, too.
Because Florida water… It’s worth saving. 💙
