It's no secret there's a major battle looming over who uses how much of the St. Johns River. What may be a secret, though, is an untapped water supply that could alleviate the problem. According to Carter Bryan of The Carter Bryan Group, there is a "major freshwater spring off Crescent Beach in the Atlantic Ocean that is pouring out millions of gallons of fresh water from the Florida aquifer and has been doing this for hundreds of years." Bryan said he has talked to former Gov. Claude Kirk about the untapped water supply and Kirk estimated there are 50-100 million gallons of fresh water a day coming out of the spring.
Seems to good to be true.
