A] The most critical issue that the Everglades deal with is that there are droughts and flooding. People created canals and leeves to divert the water that comes from the Okeechobee River and uses the water for human needs like drinking water, irrigation , and flood control. Some times too much water is withheld from the Everglades in the wet season and sometimes too much water is diverted into the Everglades during the winter drought. Both of these disrupt the natural cycles for the animals and ecosystem for the Everglades. The nesting and feeding of animals are interrupted depending on if there is too much water or not enough.
