The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) commissioned a record-size pumping station in western Palm Beach, Fla., earlier this year, to help move cleansed storm water runoff back into the Everglades. The G-310 pump station and its companion G-335 station have a combined pumping capacity of 3040 cu.ft. per second, or nearly 2 billion gallons per day To put it in perspective, that's enough water to fill 3558 Olympic-size swimming pools in one day.
