WHY WATER MATTERS

Water in South Florida

• South Florida was originally part of the Everglades, a slow-moving “river of grass.”

• According to Flordia Files, over 50% of the region’s natural water flow has been redirected by canals and development.

• According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the average American uses about 80–100 gallons of water per day.
