"Florida and the federal government have teamed up in the world's largest environmental restoration project to unplumb the ecosystem and return the world's second largest wetland to the state it was more than a century ago. The cost of the $7.8 billion restoration will be divided equally between Florida taxpayers and U.S. taxpayers." (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) This article discusses an Everglades restoration plan that "will restore the natural flow of water in the Everglades by recapturing the 1.7 billion gallons of fresh water a day piped into the ocean to prevent flooding.".
