Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Hydrologic and Biologic Aspects of the Big Cypress Swamp Drainage Area, Southern Florida
The Big Cypress is a hydrologic unit of 2, a50 square miles of flat, swampy area that merges into a coastal-marsh and estuarine environment. The ecology is water dependent and is rich in biota. Land is being developed in the western part of the drainage area as the city of Naples expands eastward.
Water, a principal resource of the Big Cypress, governs the ecology and influences the patterns of land development. Abundant but seasonal rainfall and slow natural drainage allow water to collect in ponds each year over as much as 90 percent of the undeveloped area for as long as A months. During the dry season, water in ponds and sloughs covers about 10 percent of the land.
