    Everglades Downfall

    You may go to the Everglades and see a beautiful marsh from the dock your on, but like a fake smile on someone's face, so that everyone else won’t worry , it’s all a lie.

    Water Shortage In Everglades

    Starting from reclamation projects consisting of digging canals during early twentieth century for agriculture, Everglades were exploited for their ample water supply and vast cultivatable land (Hollander, 2008). Following devastating hurricanes and floods from 1920-1950, military built a dike surrounding the Lake Okeechobee hindering its free and spontaneous drainage into Everglades region. The normal flow of water is gradual and varies drastically around the year because of the lack of any natural reservoirs in the course of water flow. Following the floods and a drought however, a network of canals, reservoirs and drainage ways were built to funnel water into Florida and Biscayne Bay directly to ensure both a steady water supply and prevention of flooding (Davis,…

    The Crevasse “Adversity is the source of our deepest growth and greatest blessings; embrace it, dare to seek It,” that was a quote from Aron Ralston, who fell down a crevasse and his arm was wedged under a rock, which inspired the movie “127 Hours.” One day I was going to the creek with my friends, Matthew and Kendal, to hang out. We had this amazing spot that had a bridge that we made and everything. We were bringing further supplies to add on to the spot and make it look more visually appealing.

    South Florida Argumentative Essay

    Living in “sunny” South Florida leaves little room for boredom; between the beaches, cities such as Miami, the everglades, and the year round warm weather one does not have to look far for something to do. What makes South Florida such an enjoyable place to live is the balance between the beauty of nature found and the excitement found in large cities. Unfortunately, this mixture of a highly urbanized and populous setting along with large ecosystems has led to an increasing amount of environmental issues that threaten the quality of life in Florida citizens as well the lives of all the animals and plants reliant on those ecosystems. If I were to travel back 150 years my home and the land it sits on would not exist, in its place I would find…
