You name it.
For a century, Floridians have been trying to tame the beastly aspects of their state and cope with Mother Natureâs effects.
You might think thereâs only so much swamp you can drain to make livable (by building canals), only so many pests you can spray to death, only so much oceanfront (or âwaterfrontâ) property to build on.
Florida has a limited amount of drinking water, but it has lots of fresh water polluted by stormwater, agricultural runoff, septic tank leakage and toxic cyanobacteria.
How does that mesh with the construction boom that helped Floridaâs population grow from 5 million in 1960 to 21.5 million in 2020 â greater percentage increases than in states like Texas and California?
