The most critical issue in the Everglades is the lack of fresh natural water. Because of man made water controls the natural flow is disrupted, but for a short period of time there are seasonal rains that aid the deminished water. Durring the months May through October rain water will make its way down from Southern Florida. Though between the months of November and April there is a complete dry season where almost all water is dried up. | The most critical issue in the Everglades is the lack of fresh natural water.
