Method: medians computed from FL WMD/county records (public well records aggregated from Florida water-management districts + county programs (well-use codes vary by source, so all filed wells are included); depths 0–5,000 ft). Cost estimate applies published per-foot ranges (checked 2026-06-11) to the local median depth — full methodology & sources.
