Abstract
At the South Florida Water Management District, engineers and scientists try to balance the needs of development, agriculture and urban areas with water supply, flood control and conservation. One ongoing source of concern is the presence of excessive agricultural nutrients, such as phosphorus. Runoff from the agricultural areas has enriched the soils to such an extent that tall plants called cattails have out-competed the saw grass and other native species. To counteract this imbalance, the District has built a four thousand acre, man-made marsh known as the Everglades Nutrient Removal Project.
