YOUR WATER COMES FROM

BECOME AN

EVERGLADES

WATER WARRIOR!

Hey Miami, Broward and the Keys, did you know your water comes from the Everglades?

That's right! This massive ecosystem filters, stores, and supplies our drinking water… and the water you use to brush your teeth, wash your dishes, fill your pools, and make your cafecito.

How does it work?

The Everglades recharges the Biscayne Aquifer, an underground freshwater river right under our feet.

It supplies the drinking water for millions of Floridians including you!

So what's the problem?

In the 1940's Florida was drained for development and agriculture.

Freshwater, that flowed south from Lake Okeechobee through the Everglades and into Florida Bay, was cut off.

Everglades restoration is the solution!

and if freshwater for 9 million people

is not enough reason to care about fixing this, then do it for :

The 2,000 species of plants and animals that also live in the Everglades.

The critical role the Everglades plays in fighting climate change impacts.

Tourism and fishing industries that depend on clean freshwater in South Florida.

Our east and west coasts who suffer from Lake Okeechobee’s polluted discharges.
