  • Learning from the Drought and Meeting 2025 Water Supply Needs - By 2025, Floridians are forecast to use about 2 billion gallons more fresh water each day.  The 2006 – 2008 drought presented many challenges.  Fortunately, Florida had response mechanisms in place to implement the long-term strategies detailed in their regional water supply plans. This was instrumental in mitigating the worst effects of the drought.  The Department’s annual report on regional water supply planning, "Learning from the Drought", describes the progress toward meeting the 2025 Water Supply Needs and offers suggestions on improving the state’s drought resistance.
