CERP: The Plan in Depth - Part 7
Evaluation
headline dots

For the plan to be a success, evaluations must be conducted to determine whether or not components of the plan are providing their intended benefits.

Between September 1997 and May 1998, alternative comprehensive plans were formulated and evaluated. Each plan developed was judged on how well it met study goals This was done by comparing the alternative plans against the Existing Condition and the Future Without-Project Condition for a range of hydrologic performance measures using primarily the South Florida Water Management Model.

Several tools are used in this evaluation process. For example, ecologic and water quality models were used to study many aspects of the plan. To view what tools are used to study the plan, please visit the following links for more information:
