The District encourages residents and commercial entities to
practice Florida Friendly Landscaping methods. Examples of Florida Friendly
Landscaping methods include collecting rainwater, reducing storm water runoff
and planting Florida native vegetation. Incorporating these and other steps may
significantly reduce the need to irrigate.

The mission of the Suwannee River Water Management District is to
protect and manage water resources using science-based solutions to support

the belief of water for nature, water for people.
Headquartered in Live Oak,
Florida, the District serves 15 surrounding north-central Florida counties.
