Description

 “River of Interests: Water Management in South Florida and the Everglades, 1948-2010,” is a history of the development of the Central and Southern Flood Keep watch over Project (C&SF) and the project’s unintended impacts at the environment, and the evolution of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP).


In 1948 Congress answered the outcry of Florida residents for both flood protection and a more reliable drinking water supply by authorizing the Central and Southern Flood Keep watch over Project, in a different way referred to as the C&SF Project. In a while thereafter, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers started construction on probably the most nation’s largest infrastructure projects. Whilst the project served its intended purposes far better than ever anticipated, it also caused extensive damage to the naturally occurring ecosystems of south Florida, including the Everglades ecosystem situated within and beyond Everglades National Park.
