CERP: The Plan in Depth - Part 4
Four Factors: Quality, Quantity, Timing & Distribution
For the restoration of the Everglades to be successful, four factors must be in place: Quantity, Quality, Timing and Distribution. These factors are rolled into one key ingredient, water. Water is the key to reviving a dying ecosystem.
Quantity:
The right of amount of water must be delivered to the places that need it most.
Quality:
The quality of the water must be healthy for the environment.
Timing:
The timing of water held and released into the ecosystem will be modified to mimic natural flow patterns.
Distribution:
Water will be captured to distribute to the ecosystem, as well as urban and agricultural users in the future.
The Plan's seven principle features will allow for these factors to be effective.
