The Department's Water Programs are responsible for protecting the
quality of Florida’s drinking water as well as its rivers, lakes, wetlands,
springs and sandy beaches, and for reclaiming mined lands.
The Programs provide the technical basis for setting the state’s
water quality standards; develop the rules and guidance for
implementing these standards; and conduct permitting, compliance,
and enforcement programs to establish these standards throughout the
state. They also implement a comprehensive statewide watershed
management program designed to identify and restore impaired water
bodies.
In addition, the Water Programs also provide $100-200 million
yearly to build or improve domestic wastewater and drinking water
facilities, to reclaim mined lands, and to implement stormwater and
other nonpoint source management projects.
