South Miami-Dade Water Issues Coordination Initiative
The South Florida Water Management District is committed to providing the necessary resources and management involvement to ensure coordination and oversight of the multiple, ongoing water-related projects and initiatives in south Miami-Dade County.
In addition, the District will provide stakeholders and interested parties with information on activities being undertaken in South Miami-Dade County by the South Florida Water Management District. This website provides background information and progress updates to the numerous projects under development in the region, access to data and technical evaluations conducted in support of District water resource actions and notice and associated supporting documents associated with District-related south Miami-Dade project meetings and workshops. Attached is the South Miami-Dade Issues Coordination Charter that explains the scope of this initiative. To help keep these updates useful, please feel free to send us news, questions or suggestions pertaining to District activities you are interested in within the region. We will do our best to address each communication we receive.
