Dredging the Little Wekiva River: A Pilot Project

摘要

The Little Wekiva River is located in central Florida, which includes Orange and Seminole counties in the St. Johns River Water Management District. Most of the upper reaches of the river have been channelized to accommodate urban expansion during the late 1960's and early 1970's. Erosion and sedimentation are significant problems that have resulted in degradation of water quality, loss of wetland habitat, and increased flooding.
