Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of water resource policy in the heart of Florida, from 1845 to 1947. Throughout this period, the state sought to balance the need to drain the swampland to make way for farming and development, with the need to prevent devastating floods and conserve water during droughts. The author examines the administrative, economic, and policy challenges faced by state and federal agencies in their attempts to manage this delicate balance. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of water resource management in the United States. It provides a detailed account of the challenges faced by one region in managing its water resources, and offers insights that are still relevant today.
