Everglades, project of water storage facility approved

The State Legislature and the governor had approved the design and construction of a new water-storage facility in the Everglades Agricultural Area south of Lake Okeechobee, amounted nearly $ 1.5 billion.

This in effect involves a reservoir that will be built on the 14,000 acre A-2 parcel adjacent to the existing A-1 basin constructed in 2015, and it will capture excess water from the lake and eliminate the discharges of polluted water. The new reservoir will allow storage of 240,000 to 360,000 acre ft will dwarf the A-1 basin’s 60,000 acre ft capacity.

For now, the schedule for the A-2 project is to be determined, as the South Florida Water Management District cannot yet comment on engineering details. The state and federal governments will fund this project in equal parts.
