How America Is Rebuilding the Everglades With a $4B Reservoir

How America Is Rebuilding the Everglades With a $4B Reservoir How America Is Rebuilding the Everglades With a $4 Billion Mega Reservoir is one of the largest environmental engineering projects ever attempted in the United States. The Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) Reservoir is designed to restore South Florida's natural water cycle by storing nearly 78 billion gallons of freshwater before slowly releasing it into the Everglades. Engineers are constructing massive embankments, underground seepage barriers, advanced pumping stations, and one of the world's largest stormwater treatment systems to reverse more than a century of environmental damage. In this documentary by R Vision, we explore how America is rebuilding the Everglades, why this $4 billion megaproject is so important, the engineering challenges behind constructing a giant reservoir on former farmland, and how it could transform the future of South Florida's ecosystem.
