About us
The District is responsible for managing and protecting the water resources and related environmental systems. To protect natural systems that sustain ground water, there must be limitations on how much water can be withdrawn. This is accomplished through planning, permitting and regulation. Local and regional governments, agricultural and other users come to the District to request water use permits. In addition to protection through regulation, the District technically and financially assists regional water supply authorities and local governments in developing new water sources.

As the District continues its efforts to protect the Weeki Wachee River, the public should be aware they may see District staff and contractors working in and along the river, including the portion deemed a springs protection zone. The District regularly conducts important work that helps protect the Weeki Wachee River. These activities are critical in supporting the District’s mission to protect our spring systems. For example, data collected for decades at the Weeki Wachee River is used by the District and other stakeholders to make critical management decisions, some of which support Florida laws. The benefits of this work have tremendous public value because they ultimately help protect the ecology of the river.

Hurricane Debby may be gone but the effects from the storm remain. That’s why scientists were out this week collecting critical data to help monitor estuaries in the Sarasota Bay area as directed by Florida’s Emergency Operations Center. Staff from the Southwest Florida Water Management District and Sarasota Bay Estuary Program collected water quality samples because historic levels of rain and flooding from Phillippi Creek and surrounding basins produced discharge into area waterbodies. Learn more about their data-gathering efforts. #WorkForOurWater
