Tornado Alley (PROG)

EPA August 2016

Much of the Everglades are less than three feet above sea
level. The rising sea may submerge the low-lying portions.
Moreover, as sea level rises, salt water can mix farther inland or
upstream into the Everglades, which allows salt-tolerant species
like mangroves to spread inland but threatens cypress swamps
and other species that do not tolerate salt water. Increasing
salinity may also threaten the Biscayne Aquifer, which is the
primary source of drinking water for South Florida. The aquifer
is recharged by surface water in the Everglades, so saltier water
in the Everglades would reach the aquifer as well. The city of
Hallandale Beach has abandoned six of its eight drinking water
wells, because the water was becoming too salty to drink.
