"The soup of bright-green algae that is currently blanketing Florida's Treasure Coast is a reminder for many residents of the re-plumbing of the lower half of the state over the past century, when hundreds of canals, reservoirs and other public works were built to control the flow of water as cities blossomed there.
To deal with the algae today, officials have a solution: a little more infrastructure.
Conservation groups, politicians and residents over the last two months have seized on the recent algae blooms in the state to push for construction of a reservoir south of Lake Okeechobee in the sugar-growing Everglades Agricultural Area."
