SFWMD progresses toward Everglades restoration
The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation reported that the South Florida Water Management District recently hit multiple milestones toward Everglades restoration. First was a groundbreaking celebration for the new Clewiston Field Station in Hendry Country, which will increase the district’s capacity to prepare and respond to hurricanes and manage Everglades restoration projects as they come online throughout South Florida. The groundbreaking was followed by a celebratory ribbon cutting for the C-139 Flow Equalization Basin Project, marking the end of the construction phase of the Everglades Restoration Strategies Project. The Flow Equalization Basin provides an 11,000 acre-foot reservoir to store basin runoff and control water flowing into the nearby stormwater treatment area.
