Restoration of the Florida Everglades

ongoing

The construction of the C-43 water reservoir is part of the giant hydrological restoration project taking place in the Everglades. Dozens of VolvoCE machines are on site building the reservoir, set to be ready in 2023. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan began 20 years ago and is a giant hydrological restoration project consisting of, among other things, the build of a new basin storage reservoir in the Caloosahatchee estuary, called the C-43 water reservoir project. When complete the reservoir, which is spread over 40km2, will hold excess water from a nearby lake, where it will be treated and then released during the dry season. In total the dam will be able to hold 200 billion liters of water.
