I remember many years ago a story about how the population center around Miami had extracted so much from the water table that salt water was filling into the Everglades.

Yes. Fresh water in the 'Glades has to maintain 3 ft. of 'head' to prevent salt water intrusion.
The fresh water being pumped out of the ground for the population is causing the intrusion.
At least that's what I've read.

Draining the Florida swamp to make all of that sub-tropical real estate in the 30’s came at a cost. Homestead was cris’crossed with canals dug by what amounted to giant ditch witches grinding through coral. Great place to be a walking catfish.

Since all us white Trump supporters are Nazis, anyhow, why can't we be Big Fat Ones, and gas all Leftists, about 28% of the population? This would reduce the consumption of fresh water by an equal amount being pumped out the aquifer.

Seems like it would be a two-fer...
