| abstract: | The S-5A, S-6, S-7 and S-8 pump stations represent major links in the water conveyance system from Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades Agricultural Area to the Conservation Area, which indirectly supply a large part of the water needs of the populated lower east coast. As a major source of water to the Conservation Areas, these pump stations influence the water quality and ecology of the Areas. This sampling program was undertaken to characterize the water quality at each of the pump stations and provide baseline information on the quality (loading) of selected constituents entering the Conservation Areas. The baseline loadings from S-5A, S-6, S-7 and S-8 pump stations provide a background against which the proposed back pumping to the Conservation Areas can be assessed. |
