Abstract
Vice President Al Gore last week presented Congress with a Herculean challenge: to restore a more natural water flow to the Everglades, the vast wetland in southern Florida, while safeguarding the booming region9s water supply. The $7.8 billion project, drawn up by the Army Corps of Engineers, would be the most expensive restoration effort ever undertaken. It calls for a 20-year overhaul of southern Florida9s water management system that would, ironically, undo large portions of an equally ambitious plumbing system built by the Corps decades ago.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
