South Lee County Watershed Initiative (SLCWI):

Coming together to protect and restore the water resources in South Lee County

Aerial map of South Lee County

The CHNEP has been asked by our partners to assist facilitation of an effort to coordinate a regional water resource modeling and planning initiative for South Lee County. 

 

The objective is to “get the water right” – identifying what needs to happen to restore and maintain our water supply, flood protection, water quality and water-dependent resources in the face of existing degradation and depletion, sea level rise and continued regional growth.

The SLCWI is now incorporated in the Corkscrew Watershed Initiative Public Planning Project that is funded by the South Florida Water Management District. For more information, visit https://www.sfwmd.gov/our-work/corkscrew-watershed-initiative-public-planning-project.
