Miami water quality: then

Miami – Fort Lauderdale is a coastal region in southeastern Florida that sits between the Everglades to the west and Biscayne Bay to the east. So, it comes as no surprise that Miami means “Big Water”, from the Tequesta tribe “May aimi”. European settlers began exploring southeastern Florida in the 1500s, attracted to the abundance of fresh water from the Miami River. Early residents transformed the region into a gateway for international trade. They dredged and widened the rivers, created canals for trade ships, and extended the Florida East Coast Railroad to the city. Settlers also drained large parts of the Everglades to create fertile farmland for produce, like oranges, guava, and grapefruit.

By the 1940s, the region had grown into a center for international trade and tourism but residents began complaining that their drinking water tasted salty, and the post-World War II population boom further compromised Miami-Fort Lauderdale water quality. Finally, in 1955, a U.S. Geological Survey explored the “salty” Miami drinking water. In the past, water content in the Everglades had high levels of freshwater. However, draining the Everglades and Biscayne Bay caused salty water from the ocean to push inland, a trend that continues today.
