America's Everglades was once vibrant, free-flowing "River of Grass," but the thriving ecosystem was reduced by 50 percent over time. The damage was due to development, population increases, economic growth, and the naivety of the environmental impacts. Since the year 2000, when Congress authorized the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its partners continuously work to restore the right quantity of water, at the right quality, to be distributed to the right place at the right time throughout South Florida.
