Water management plan: Turner River restoration
Rosendahl PC and Sikkema DA. 1981. Water management plan: Turner River restoration. Report M-621. National Park Service, South Florida Research Center, Everglades National Park. Homestead, FL
The Turner River originates within the mixed cypress swamps of the Big Cypress National Preserve and eventually empties into the Chokoloskee estuary in Everglades National Park, FL. The construction of the Turner Canal and State Road 836 severed the river's upper drainage basin and surface water flows have been altered. The report provides results of studies conducted in 1978 to determine the possible hydrologic consequences of Turner River restoration with regard to water quality, quantity and channelization, water management policies and legislation. The authors present data to support the discussions, conclusions, and restoration recommendations.
