Caloosahatchee West Basin storage reservoir, US
Name of the Project
Caloosahatchee West Basin storage reservoir.
Location
Florida, in the US.
Project Owner/s
South Florida Water Management District.
Project Description
The project forms part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan.
The contract is to reduce harmful discharges into the Caloosahatchee estuary, in Hendry County, by 2024.
It includes the construction of an earth-fill dam, with a perimeter of about 26.2 km and a 4.5-km-long separator dam.
The reservoir will encompass about 40.5 km2 and store 209.7-million cubic metres of water when full.
When it rains, the reservoir will capture water runoffs contaminated by residential and agricultural developments in the area. During dry periods, it will maintain a desirable minimum flow of fresh water to the estuary, reducing extreme salinity changes.
