Why doesn the Plan include flows that mirror original flow through the Everglades?
The team of scientists and engineers who developed the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan worked diligently to restore the water flows that were characteristic of the historic Everglades ecosystem. The team found, however, that replicating the exact flow patterns throughout the entire Everglades ecosystem would not be possible. The Everglades historic flow patterns were molded by, not only the geographic features of the Everglades, but also its spatial extent. Only about 50% of the historic Everglades now remain – the other 50% has been lost forever to agriculture and urban development. Further, it has been found that recreating the exact flows in some areas of the Everglades may result in damaging flows and levels to other places today. The restoration team remains committed, however, to continuing its efforts to restore to the greatest extent possible, the historic flows to the Everglades ecosystem.
