​Client: National Park Services, Department of Interior (DOI)
​Year: 2019 - Ongoing
​​
About: 
NPS-SFNRC recognizes the need to protect the Everglades NP to safeguard the health and welfare of the South Florida Region, its ecology, freshwater bodies, estuaries and coasts. With that mission in mind, the continuous evaluation of the impacts that land-use and water resources management actions have on these unique eco-systems becomes vital, particularly to sustainably manage and control the Everglades NP under a proactive instead of a reactive approach.

Applied Skills:

• Integrated Modeling: Model Review, Conceptualization & Setup
• Sensitivity Tests
• Scenario Evaluations​​

​Consulting Areas:

• ​Surface Water Management
• Wetland Conservation and restauration​

​Software Applied:

• ​MIKE SHE / MIKE11
• ArcMap
• MatLab
• LAGO Toolbox

Specifics:
LAGO was tasked to assist the South Florida Natural Resources Center (SFNRC) in the maintenance and development of their hydrologic and hydraulic model (M3ENP). LAGO assists in reviewing the existing model, implementing new model features and operational scenarios, running models, and evaluating model results for DOI relevant projects.
