Abstract
About one quarter of U.S. sugar is produced in Florida. Intensive agricultural production in this environmentally sensitive region requires careful waste management. For example, one of the main issues threatening the Everglades is the amount of phosphate present in agricultural and urban runoff. Phosphate, a substance found in fertilizers and detergents, serves as a nutrient in what would otherwise be a nutrient-starved environment. To maintain a healthy ecosystem, however, the phosphate levels can be no more than ten parts per billion. Urban and agricultural runoff have raised these levels to over one hundred parts per billion.
