General Info:

Southwest Florida Water Management serves the district in carrying out all its water resource management responsibilities, including those for water supply, flood protection, water quality and natural systems. It also plays an important role in the coordination and consistency of planning and management at the district, from development of Basin Board five-year plans and Comprehensive Watershed Management plans to annual generation of the program budget. The District has nine basins. Eight of the basins have overseeing boards. The ninth basin is the Green Swamp, headwaters for four major rivers. Because of its hydrologic significance for a large portion of the District, the Green Swamp Basin is administered directly by the Governing Board. Central to the mission of water management is maintaining the balance between the water needs of current and future users while protecting and maintaining the natural systems that provide the District with its existing and future water supply.
