New Report Endorses Everglades Research Plan

Oct. 4 -- A federal and state research plan for Everglades restoration goes long way to providing information needed to settle remaining technical questions, says a new National Academies report. The research would assess a proposal to drill more than 300 wells funneling up to 1.7 billion gallons of water a day into underground aquifers, where it would be stored and then pumped back to the surface to replenish the Everglades during dry periods.
