Notes

Abstract:

Current water management practices in the L-31N, L-31W, and C-111 canals have contributed to lower groundwater levels and reduced surface water flows in the Rocky Glades and the Taylor Slough marshes. The reduced hydraulic gradients and the truncated periods of flow through the Taylor Slough basin are thought to be a major factor contributing to the hypersaline conditions and abrupt salinity changes in Florida Bay.
