Portions of the Little Wekiva River are dry, buried in silt and debris Little Wekiva River drying up? Environmentalists and others in Seminole County are wondering why the Little Wekiva River is losing water and turning into sand piles. SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. - Jeanette Schreiber stands in the middle of the Little Wekiva River where it runs along her property line, yet there’s not a drop of water on her. "This area right here was all sometimes like 5 feet deep, anywhere from 3.5 to 5 feet deep," Schreiber said. There should be spring water flowing along the back of her property, but right now it’s bone dry.
