WSP provides SFWMD with world-class scientists, engineers and restoration specialists to further its mission concerning flood control and water supply, preventing saltwater intrusion, encouraging responsible agriculture and urban development, and preserving fish and wildlife habitat in the Everglades. As part of that mission, our team works with SFWMD and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to implement the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan — a 35-year plan to restore, protect and preserve the water resources of the Everglades region.
SFWMD is challenged to address restoration and maintenance of one of the world’s most significant freshwater resources and numerous estuarine systems, while meeting the needs of an expanding population such as flood protection and future water supply. Competing needs for water and land must be delicately balanced for every project, whether stormwater treatment or hydrology restoration.
