Book excerpt: "The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive review and update of the Northwest Florida Water Management District's Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) priority list. The Florida Legislature passed the Surface Water Improvement and Management Act in 1987. In so doing, the Legislature recognized that the surface waters of the state perform important functions, including providing habitat for native plants, fish, and wildlife; providing safe drinking water to the growing population of the state; providing an aesthetic and recreational resource; and attracting visitors and accruing other economic benefits. The Legislature also recognized, however, that quality of many of the state's surface waters had become degraded or were in danger of becoming degraded. The Legislature further recognized that natural systems associated with many of these surface waters had become so altered as to diminish their ability to provide their valued functions. In considering these challenges, the Legislature concluded that such problems could be corrected and prevented through cooperative efforts on the part of water management districts, state agencies, and local governments. As specified in section 373.453, Florida Statutes (F.S.), each water management district shall maintain a list that prioritizes waterbodies of regional or statewide significance. This list is to be developed in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), the Florida Department of Community Affairs (FDCA), the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC), local governments, and others, and it must be reviewed and updated every five years. The Northwest Florida Water Management District adopted its initial SWIM priority list in April 1988 and updated it in 1993. Additional revisions to the list were made in 1996 in consultation with FDEP. In 2001, the SWIM priority list was reviewed by District staff, but no changes were recommended."--Introduction.

Download or read book Florida s Water written by Tom Swihart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida's Water poses fundamental questions about water sustainability in the United States' fourth largest state. Florida has long-standing water quality problems. Global climate change threatens to intensify Florida's floods and droughts, make hurricanes more common or more damaging, and eventually submerge much of low-lying Florida, including the Everglades. How can Florida meet these extraordinary challenges? And what lessons does the Florida experience hold for other states? This book fully integrates the many diverse responsibilities of water management into a readable and compelling combination of interesting narratives and deep analysis. Author Tom Swihart's unique, intimate knowledge of Florida's successes and failures in water management brings out both the novelty of Florida's water situation and the features that it has in common with other states.
