Water P 2019 C Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps all water bodies across Miami-Dade County—lakes, ponds, rivers, and canals—using detailed aerial photography from 2012. It's essential for understanding our county's hydrology, planning flood management, and tracking changes to water features that affect everything from development to environmental health.
Why This Matters
- A city planner evaluating where stormwater should flow during heavy rains by examining the network of water bodies and their boundaries
- A homeowner or real estate developer checking whether a property is near water features before making purchase or development decisions
- An environmental scientist studying how wetlands and water bodies have changed over time to assess habitat loss or restoration progress
