South Florida Environmental Report and Other Publications

As the South Florida Water Management District works to Achieve More Now For Florida’s Environment, we are pleased to present the 2022 South Florida Environmental Report (SFER). The report documents an important year of restoration, water quality, scientific and engineering accomplishments in the Kissimmee Basin, Lake Okeechobee, Everglades and South Florida coastal areas. The report also provides the public with the science and data used to drive decisions at the South Florida Water Management District.

The full report is a three-volume publication complemented by the SFER Consolidated Project Report Database. Volume I covers findings derived from regional monitoring and research projects and highlights key financial information during the 2021 Water Year reporting period. Volume II provides an annual update on the project status during Fiscal Year 2021 and planning for Fiscal Year 2022 for nine annual reports required of all water management districts. Volume III expands on Volume I by further streamlining unified reporting and fulfilling various federal and state permit-related reporting requirements.
