That isn't a whole lot. It's getting close enough that we're concerned, and we're having these meetings.

When the C-43 first became an Everglades restoration project, quantity was the issue. But then last summer we had all the problems with blue-green algae and concern over whether it would have low water quality. So at that point the district said we would include water-quality options when we are creating our test cell.

That's one way to spend taxpayer dollars. Maybe they should call expert witnesses from New Orleans to testify what happens when you don't have proper flood control.

That will be hard for the people wanting to build.

It's serious. We need to conserve year-round, but this is crunch time.

It doesn't necessarily mean a building moratorium, but it's severe enough we need to look at additional permitting.
