State experts predict that Florida's population may increase by 25% or more over the next twenty years. Although the State has significant water resources, traditional groundwater supplies in some regions of the State are not sufficient to meet all water use sectors' projected demands. In 2016, the Florida Legislature again endeavored to take steps to further ensure that water supply and water quality protection infrastructure will be in place to meet the growing demands of all economic sectors. The Legislature also continued to evaluate the State's implementation of science -based regulatory programs for protecting and restoring water quality and water flow in state springs, the Northern Everglades, and other state waters of significant concern. This panel of public sector, private sector, and environmental advocacy representatives will address the Florida Legislature's current approach to investing the revenue provided through Florida's Water and Land Legacy Constitutional Amendment and also analyze the key water legislation that passed, the bills that didn't, and what it all means for Florida's economy and environment.
