Reservoirs

Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir - Phase 1 with Bolles Canal Improvements

This expedited project is a component of the larger EAA Reservoir Project and is designed to provide significant additional water storage in the southern region of the Everglades Agricultural Area. The Phase A-1 project is an above-ground reservoir for water storage, with a capacity of 190,000 acre-feet at a maximum depth of 12.5 feet. The reservoir will be constructed on a 16,700-acre parcel of land situated north of Stormwater Treatment Area 3/4 and between the Miami and North New River canals. This expedited project also includes conveyance capacity increases for the Bolles Canal (L-21 and L-16 Reaches) to provide improved flood protection and water flow capabilities for moving water to and from the EAA Reservoir and STAs.

Water Preserve Areas

The Broward County Water Preserve Area projects are located along the eastern edge of Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3A/3B in central/southern Broward County and northern Miami-Dade County and designed to improve Everglades water quality. Three project components will enhance the buffer between residential development and protected Everglades wetlands, capturing and diverting stormwater runoff and reducing underground seepage.
