Restoring the EvergladesAlthough the goal of the project
is the restoration of the
everglades it was our job to tie
the various project throughout
the region with good vertical
and horizontal control.
As you can see from the map
the project cover a much
larger area that the true
restoration. This is one of the
reasons for the establishment
of 800 miles of new level lines.
