South Florida Drought Causes Watering Restrictions
As of today, watering your lawn in South Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys, has been restricted to a once a week event, due to the severe drought.
With drinking water wells running "critically low," Carol Wehle, executive director of the South Florida Water Management District signed the emergency order today.
The Biscayne Aquifer, in South Miami-Dade, is within 10% of its historic low, and is taxing numerous wells, as reported by the Miami Herald.
