WRDA 2000 Programmatic Authority Project:
Broward County Secondary Canal System
(source: Final Feasibility Report and PEIS, April 1999, Section 9.1.8.12, page 9-18)
This feature includes a series of water control structures, pumps, and canal improvements located in the C-9, C-12 and C-13 Canal Basins and east basin of the North New River Canal in central and southern Broward County.
The purpose of this feature is to reduce water shortages by recharging local wellfields and stabilizing the saltwater interface. Excess water in the basins will be pumped into the coastal canal systems to maintain canal stages at optimum levels. When basin water is not sufficient to maintain canal stages, the canals will be maintained from other construction features such as the Site 1 Impoundment and the North Lake Belt Storage Area and then from Lake Okeechobee and the Water Conservation Areas.
