People Are Flocking to Florida. Will There Be Enough Water for Them?

Florida faces a looming water crisis as climate change, rapid population growth, and overuse of groundwater threaten its freshwater supply. The state relies on aquifers for 90% of its drinking water, but saltwater intrusion, rising sea levels, and increased demand from a booming population are straining resources. Agriculture and development exacerbate the issue, while urban sprawl converts farmland into housing. Efforts to manage the crisis include restrictions on water use and investments in conservation, but critics argue these measures fall short. Groundwater-dependent ecosystems, such as springs, are suffering, and climate impacts like intensified hurricanes and prolonged droughts worsen the strain. Advocates warn that without stronger statewide coordination and conservation policies, Florida's water resources will not sustain its growth.
