Item 8 - Resolution urging the Florida Legislature and Cabinet to dedicate conservation
funds for water conservation projects. The Florida Water and Land Conservation
Amendment was passed in 2014, providing a guaranteed revenue source of
conservation funds for the purpose of protecting all of Florida's vital water resources.
40% of Florida's acreage is covered by water, including more than 1,000 natural
springs, 27,561 miles of rivers and streams, and 1.6 million acres of lakes reservoirs
and ponds. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has found that 80%
of Florida's lakes and 70% of Florida's springs are considered impaired by excessive
levels of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. North and Central Florida are
home to 70% of Florida’s river watersheds, the majority of Florida's springs, and
provide nearly all of the recharge to the Florida aquifer. The attached resolution
urges the Florida Legislature and Cabinet to fund and finish existing water
improvement programs across Florida to prevent delays that would unnecessarily
jeopardize nutrient reduction programs, best management practices and other
restorative efforts that are working.
