Florida's Insane $10 Billion Plan To Solve It's Geography Problem!

An incredible, absolutely enormous transformation is happening in Florida, on a scale that's never been seen before. Home to Disney land, Space shuttle Launches and the Everglades
Florida is the fastest growing state in the US, it has the 4th biggest economy and is now the 3rd most populated state in the USA with 1000 people a day moving there for its temperate climate, favorable tax laws and expanding businesses community.
Approximately 139,670 sq km in size, most of Florida is situated on a peninsula that's surrounded on three sides by two main bodies of water, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean
it has 1,350 miles of coastline and over 825 miles of beach. Florida is composed of mainly marshland, swampland, lakes, springs, and rivers. And is recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot for Its unique geography and ecological diversity. Florida is one of the countrys top tourist destinations, tourism is its biggest industry drawing millions of visitors each year to its dozens of state and national parks. In 2022 it had a record 137.6 million visitors, which contributed over 100 billion dollars to the states economy. One of the sunshine state's most notable tourist attractions is the Florida Everglades, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and 1.5 million acres in size, the Florida Everglades is one of the largest wetlands in the world, home to endangered, rare, and exotic wildlife, its often thought of as a swamp, However the Glades are actually a slow-moving river flowing over an area that's 40 miles wide and 100 miles long, from the south shore of Lake Okeechobee to the mangrove estuaries of Florida Bay.

Save Florida, stop over building and clearing every acre of land

[Thisishard]

I 95 used to be so wide open in Florida. Now you have to time it getting past Jacksonville. Traffic is insane from every possible direction. I feel like I’m home on the Long Island Expressway at rush-hour.

[Matty]

its almost as if building massive cities where water used to be was a bad idea 🤔

[markweigel]

😎🇺🇸As a 3rd Generational South Florida Native From Palm Beach I’d Like To Say Thanks For The Video & Remind Everyone Of The Old Saying…”It’s Not Nice To Fool Mother Nature…”

[WmJFaust]

The price tag is truly a stellar value given all the rewards, especially long-term. On a side note, I think the term "megalopolis" was misused given my understanding. Nonetheless, I greatly support the idea of monumental restoration projects of the natural aquatic environment here.

[No.L]

Like Singapore, 100% of Florida land destroyed for buildings needs to be replaced within and around the structure.
Building up rather than out with verticle gardens.
Grey water irrigation. Eliminating grass dominated housing complexes in favor of native filter plants.
As well as the planting of water filtering plants and shellfish in all water retention and natural ponds, rivers, and streams.
Cleaner water and less agricultural strain.
And rain water catching/filtering systems fitted for all buildings with consumption needs.

[Robert-btjq]

Blame the sugar cane industry. It's conveniently left

[petersguazzato]

See what happens when mankind intervenes with nature the wrong ways, thank god someone with some sense has taken the wheel and steered the vehicle the right direction for the future of Florida 🙏🙏

[charleslindsay]

i live here and didn't know all of that was happening....at least someone is trying to undo the early mistakes.

[zbtghit]

This is great. Hopefully it will restore the wildlife populations.

[Agathe.May...]

Money well used for once. Playing with nature is always a bet you will lose.

[josephang]

No matter the hate, Florida keeps prospering even under hurricanes and floods. Imagine how unlivable northern and western states has gotten that people prefer a swamp.

[Miami]

Wait, why are they moving here "to a more temperate climate?" I thought climate change was making the northern states so much warmer, so there should be no need for everyone to crowd into Florida.

[James-gxmr]

Sea levels? I've been here my whole life and the water level at the on the seawall in my hometown ( which is right next to the inlet) has not changed... I guess the seawall level is rising too

[SunshineStateSagas]

So, I live in Florida and I've NEVER heard of this. I wish this was advertised more. It sounds amazing!

[godzillaful]

Nature always wins and we will pay the conquences, its good to see we are trying to work with nature. Thats the best soluation, we must work with nature.

[humboldthammer]

Very Good explanation. Thanks for posting.

[Elizabeth-lbjf]

I feel very fortunate to be living in Florida, but I seem to be the only person in my upscale Sarasota neighborhood, to NOT have manicured lawns which guzzle water, fertilizers, pesticides, and require the near constant presence of lawn workers with loud and polluting equipment. I ripped out all the grass (by hand, ) and planted a mixture of native and other subtropical plants. If cunningly managed, they end up looking after themselves, with no watering or weeding necessary.

[eusks]

Nature: They're so cute these apes with their little sticks and buckets. Well, back to work. We have a sea level to rise tens of feet.

[TheDirtydeak]

Some of this is misinformed or however you want to term it. I was a reclaim water Technician for Orange County Florida. We recharge the aquifer with trillions of gallons a year from reclaimed (cleaned) septic and storm runoff. This water is discharged into RIBs (Rapid Infiltration Basins) to recharge the watershed, used for industrial horticulture/agriculture, farms/ranches, neighborhood irrigation, carwashes, fire hydrants (etc etc) and all water attractions at theme parks and water parks after further on site treatment. Even swimming pools at your timeshare. It can cost thousands to tens of thousands in fines to just fire up a well (before we even get into costs for actualy drawing water) for these major industries and business. Some clients have a 16 inch turnout (main connection) and can use 3, 584, 000 gal a month before incurring a metered rate per 1, 000 gallons. One client, 3 1/2 million gallons a month... were not hurting for water peeps. We just keep cleaning it and putting it back into the ground or repurpose it so we don't draw more water from the aquifer.

One of the main reasons we do this is because we are an isthmus between the Gulf and the ocean. If all we did is pump water, we would eventually have salt water intrusion far inland. Ruining our habitats and drinking water. We also have to maintain a head. Meaning there is enough water (pressure) moving through the ground 'to' the ocean/gulf to keep saltwater out. We also need to lose water. If all we did was pump water into the ground we would deal with issues from liquefaction and with that in mind we have to allow for rainwater. So anyways... this whole thing about Fl running out of water is nonsense.
