| Description | St. Johns River Water Management District completed improvements along a mile-long stretch of the C-1 Canal in Palm Bay. Newly contoured banks along a mile stretch of the canal allow the Melbourne-Tillman Water Control District to maximize flows west to the St. Johns River instead of east to the Indian River Lagoon.
For decades, the C-1 Canal shunted stormwater east to the lagoon. Recent improvements complement an original project by maximizing the return of flow westward to the St. Johns River, instead of allowing it to flow unimpeded eastward to Turkey Creek and the Indian River Lagoon. |
