Kissimmee River Restoration Project

Kissimmee River Restoration Project

Goal is to restore ecological integrity to the central region of the Kissimmee river and floodplain

Projected cost = $578 million 50/50 cost share USCOE/SFWMD Backfill 22 mi of C-38 canal Recarve/reconnect more than 40 mi

of river channel Remove 2 water control structures

(one has been removed) Headwaters Revitalization Project

provides additional water storage from headwater lakes for river restoration

Comprehensive restoration evaluation program

Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study

Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study

Flows through the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and Kissimmee River are regulated by control structures

Goal: assess whether existing operations can be modified to achieve a better balance among

Flood control

Water supply

Aquatic plant management

Kissimmee Basin natural resources (KRR, KCOL)

Downstream discharge area (Lake Okeechobee)

Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study - Approach

Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study - Approach

Geographic scope includes entire Kissimmee Basin

Hydrologic/hydraulic simulation model

Simulate a suite of regulation schedules for 13 structures in the Kissimmee Basin

Use performance measures to evaluate and select “best” operational criteria

Recommend regulation changes based on operational criteria selected
