The Southeast District of the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection covers
six counties, including, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin,
St. Lucie, and Okeechobee. The geographical area includes portions of
the Indian River Lagoon, the nation’s most diverse estuary;
Loxahatchee River, the state’s only National Wild and Scenic River;
one of the nation’s largest freshwater lakes, Lake Okeechobee; and
the unique and beautiful Everglades System, including Florida Bay and
the Kissimmee River. In addition to these extraordinary natural
systems, Southeast Florida contains approximately one-third of
Florida’s total population, with more than 5 million residents.
Increasing population, urbanization and industrialization continue to
place great stresses on our natural resources. We are committed to the
protection of our extraordinary natural resources, and we strive to
strike a balance between that commitment and responsible economic
development.
April is
Water Conservation Month
For the last nine years, the Governor's Office and
Cabinet have recognized the importance of water conservation by
proclaiming April as Water Conservation Month. Last year, more
than 100 local governments and entities adopted the water conservation
month proclamation.
The
Governor's Office has made it clear that water conservation is an
important component of a dependable water supply. Publicizing the
proclamation provides an excellent opportunity to coordinate
conservation education and efforts throughout the State of Florida.
This year we have included some reminders of water conservation’s
benefits to citizens and communities as part of the proclamation.
