Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deteriorating water quality in the Everglades Protection Area has been attributed to the inflow of nutrient-laden runoff from the Everglades Agricultural Area. Pursuant to legislative and judicial directives, the South Florida Water Management District is in the process of implementing various management programs to improve water quality in the agricultural runoff. A major element in these programs is the use of constructed wetlands as stormwater treatment areas for the removal of phosphorus.
Download or read book Re Engineering Water Storage in the Everglades written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-05-17 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Water Science and Technology Board and the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology have released the seventh and final report of the Committee on Restoration of the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, which provides consensus advice to the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force on various scientific and technical topics. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South FL Ecosystem Restoration Initiative is a long-term effort to restore the South FL ecosystem, which includes the Everglades. This report: describes the role of the Army Corps of Engineers' Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan in addressing the major water quality concerns in the ecosystem, and identifies modifications that may be needed as the Plan is implemented. The info. is based on discussions with fed. and state officials that have responsibilities for managing water supplies and ensuring water quality in South FL. Also reviewed the portions of the Plan that describe water quality projects and obtained and reviewed other pertinent water quality reports and studies.
Download or read book Constructed Wetlands for Water Quality Improvement in Surface Water Discharges to the Everglades written by Wossenu Abtew and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everglades Stormwater Treatment Areas (STAs) are constructed freshwater wetlands designed for reducing phosphorus concentration and load from drainage waters that flow into the Everglades. Currently, six stormwater treatment areas with a total effective treatment area of 16,098 ha are under operation. Operation of the STAs started in 1994 with a 1,544 ha prototype constructed wetland, the Everglades Nutrient Removal Project, and additional STAs were constructed over the following years. For the period of operation of the STAs, the average total phosphorus (TP) concentration was 140 ppb in the inflow and 43 ppb in the outflow. The average phosphorus load reduction was about 70 percent. Hydraulic loading rate, TP loading rate and hydraulic retention time are recognized as factors that affect TP removal efficiency. Since the start of operation of the Everglades Nutrient Removal Project and the subsequently constructed additional stormwater treatment areas, about 826,540 ha-m of water has been treated and 810.3 mt of total phosphorus have been removed. An additional expansion of the STA treatment system by another 2,389 ha is currently in progress.

Download or read book Progress Toward Restoring the Everglades written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the progress of environmental restoration projects in the Florida Everglades remains slow overall, there have been improvements in the pace of restoration and in the relationship between the federal and state partners during the last two years. However, the importance of several challenges related to water quantity and quality have become clear, highlighting the difficulty in achieving restoration goals for all ecosystem components in all portions of the Everglades. Progress Toward Restoring the Everglades explores these challenges. The book stresses that rigorous scientific analyses of the tradeoffs between water quality and quantity and between the hydrologic requirements of Everglades features and species are needed to inform future prioritization and funding decisions.

Book excerpt: "Useful and usable. . . . Planners, farmers, other agriculturists, and regulators can all benefit from the information and insights."--Curtis J. Richardson, Director, Wetland Center, Duke University The essays in this book pull together information on all aspects of the Everglades Agricultural Area that influence any water, soil, crop, or environmental management decision in the area--including legal and political verdicts. Their major emphasis is on water management practices, fundamental soil makeup, and plant production. Though the book explains the specific environmental processes that directly concern Floridians, it also deals with issues and conditions important to people everywhere who are interested in resource management.
