The Big Cypress Watershed

Department of the Interior. 1971. The Big Cypress Watershed. Everglades-Jetport Advisory Board

A study of alternative uses of Big Cypress Watershed. The fate of the broad, flat, very gently sloping watershed in southwest Florida, known as Big Cypress Watershed, hangs in precarious balance. In the extraordinary diversity and wealth of its natural resources, in the far-reaching effects of the uses to which it is put by man, and in its profound vulnerability to unwise uses, the Big Cypress has the potential for becoming the textbook or classic example of ecologocial ruin.
