Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge - Greater Everglades Baseline Information and Response to CERP

The greater Everglades Restoration program includes a management plan for the C-43 Canal, or Caloosahatchee River. This plan affects the quantity, quality, and timing of freshwater releases at control structure S-79 at Franklin Locks. Freshwater contributions are from Lake Okeechobee, and farming runoff along the canal from Lake Okeechobee to the town of Alva. This study will provide basic information on the effects on the quality of water entering J. N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge as the result of freshwater releases at control structure S-79.大沼泽地（Everglades）修复计划包含针对C-43运河（C-43 Canal，又名卡拉奥萨哈奇河（Caloosahatchee River））的管理方案。该方案将影响富兰克林船闸（Franklin Locks）处S-79控制结构（control structure S-79）的淡水泄放水量、水质与泄放时机。本次淡水补给来源包括奥基乔比湖（Lake Okeechobee），以及从奥基乔比湖延伸至阿尔瓦镇（Alva）的运河沿线产生的农业径流。本研究将针对S-79控制结构开展淡水泄放后，对流入J.N.达林国家野生动物保护区（J. N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge）的水体水质产生的影响提供基础研究数据。
