  Would be interesting for someone to put together a system constraints video that talks about the issues of accomplishing what this and the other videos are displaying to provide the public with ALL of the issues associated with moving water within South Florida. So many want to make out to be so much more simple than it is.

  Seems to me most of the "constraints" are man made issues. Wouldn't it almost be cheaper to relocate those communities in high flood risk areas - purchase farmlands south of the lake to flood for storage/filtration, and restore the natural water flow of the basin/kissimmee river?

  There are only so many casts in life, so shut up and fish!!

  Yep, shouldn't cost much to relocate everyone on the East Coast from Jupiter to Miami. Oh, then you need to relocate the source, which means move everyone out of Orlando.
  
  Should be simple....

  I'm all for it as long as you don't move them up here.

  These things upset me. I have grown to love Florida very much in the last 10 years and the fishing that it has to offer. To see that politicians will ruin fisheries and lands for profit infuriates me. I hope there is something more i can do from up here in KY.
