The South Miami-Dade Watershed area is composed of vibrant communities with strong identities established on foundations that are economically, socially and environmentally sustainable, which honor private property rights. It supports economically viable and diverse agriculture; ensures a healthy and sustainable south Biscayne Bay and Biscayne and Everglades National Parks; and promotes open space and tourism and recreational facilities based on its natural wonders while welcoming other compatible enterprises. Sustainable urban development preserves historic quality and rural character with a strong sense of local community and stewardship.


This scope of services outlines the process that will be followed to prepare the South Miami-Dade Watershed Study and Plan.  The Watershed Plan is to be based on a comprehensive study that projects, examines, and analyzes surface and groundwater uses and corresponding land uses, including water uses for sustaining and restoring the environment, sustaining economically viable agriculture, providing flood protections, and supplying and protecting drinking water and other water uses pertinent to probable land uses.
