SFWMD's Infographic Shows the Greater Benefit of Storing Water North, Not South, of Lake Okeechobee

The South Florida Water Management District rolled out a new infographic at Thursday's Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) meeting -- this one comparing the benefits of storing storm water north of Lake Okeechobee versus storing water south of the big lake.

"With so many groups promoting an agenda of 'south' water storage as the best way to spend taxpayers' money, the District decided to produce a graphic to show quickly and easily why storing water north of the lake is so much more beneficial," said Randy Smith, spokesman for SFWMD.
