Human settlements and flood-control structures have significantly reduced the Everglades, which once encompassed over three million acres of slow-moving water enriched by a diverse biota. To remedy the degradation of the Everglades, a comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan was formulated in 1999 with the goal of restoring the original hydrologic conditions of its remaining natural ecosystem. A major feature of this plan is providing enough storage capacity to meet human needs while also providing the needs of the greater Everglades ecosystem. This report reviews and evaluates not only storage options included in the Restoration Plan but also other options not considered in the Plan. Along with providing hydrologic and ecological analyses of the size, location and functioning of water storage components, the report also discusses and makes recommendations on related critical factors, such as timing of land acquisition, intermediate states of restoration, and tradeoffs among competing goals and ecosystem objectives.WaterStorageFloridaManagementAquifer storage recoveryFloridaWater-supplyFloridaManagementWater resources developmentFloridaManagementNatural resources conservation areasFloridaEverglades National Park (Fla.)ManagementWaterStorageManagement.Aquifer storage recoveryWater-supplyManagement.Water resources developmentManagement.Natural resources conservation areas628.13National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Restoration of the Greater Everglades Ecosystem.South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966804703321Re-engineering water storage in the Everglades4359243UNINA
