Hernando County soils range from poorly drained flatwoods Spodosols along the coast to well-drained deep sands on the Brooksville Ridge. The ridge soils are underlain by karst limestone with active spring systems that connect surface drainage to the Floridan Aquifer.

Hernando County's spring systems — including Weeki Wachee Springs — connect directly to the Floridan Aquifer through karst conduits. This means stormwater that infiltrates in Spring Hill or Brooksville can rapidly enter the drinking water supply and discharge to the springs. SWFWMD imposes strict nitrogen loading limits on stormwater infiltration within spring protection zones, requiring enhanced water quality treatment in drainage system design.
