New Corps lake system operating manual, replacing one in use since 2008, will improve water management, including better dry season Everglades flow and reduced algae blooms in rivers
Two projects to improve the quality, quantity and distribution of water in the Everglades National Park in Florida—the construction of a reservoir and the raising of a portion of the Tamiami Trail—moved forward in June.
The proposed budget includes $360 million for at least 23 Everglades projects that will provide 672,000 acre-ft of water storage and reduce Lake Okeechobee discharges that have caused toxic algal blooms on the coasts and estuaries.
Everglades restoration is making significant progress, but planners now must reassess midcourse to analyze impacts of climate change and sea-level rise on the regional ecosystem, a new report says.
Rehabilitation of the Herbert Hoover Dike surrounding Lake Okeechobee in Florida’s Everglades will be expedited by $50 million of state funds under an April 17 agreement between the state and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Engineers in Florida are starting to plan for design and construction of a new $1.5-billion water-storage facility in the Everglades Agricultural Area south of Lake Okeechobee.
