Planning for the region’s future water needs is a key component of the South Florida Water Management District’s (SFWMD) public service mission.
DID YOU KNOW: Every day, more than 3 billion gallons of water are used in Central and Southern Florida for watering our lawns, drinking, bathing, growing crops, and servicing industries?
Did you know the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, Kissimmee River and Lake Okeechobee offer some of the best boating and fishing opportunities in Central and Southern Florida?
UNLOCKING EASY WATERWAY ACCESS: The July 4th weekend is traditionally a time of increased traffic on Florida’s waterways. Navigational locks make it easy for boaters to access and explore Lake Okeechobee and the Kissimmee Waterway.
