Project Description

South Florida Water Management District operates and maintains approximately 1,800 miles of canals and levees, 25 major pumping stations and about 200 larger and 2,000 smaller water control structures. After the storms of '04 and '05 ravaged the South Florida canal system, many of these canals were stressed beyond their limits and rehabilitation became critical.
