Lower Kissimmee Basin Water Supply Plan

lower Kissimmee basin water supply mapThe Lower Kissimmee Basin Water Supply Planning Area includes portions of Okeechobee, Highlands and Glades counties. The SFWMD developed the 2014 Lower Kissimmee Basin Water Supply Plan to assess projected water demands and potential sources of water for the period from 2010 to 2035. This plan will be used by agricultural stakeholders, local governments and utilities in their planning and to update and modify local comprehensive plans, facility work plans and ordinances.
