Florida Springs Institute Director Robert Knight talks about the problems at Florida's springs and what can be done to save them

from The Nature of Florida with Oscar Corral · host Oscar Corral

Robert "Bob" Knight is the director of the Florida Springs Institute. He has also authored numerous books about the springs, their unique nature and how they are being degraded in Florida. In this episode, he talks about how Florida's system of granting permits to pump water is enabling corporations and business interests to pump water for almost nothing. This practically free use of water is draining the aquifer the the springs' water comes from. If things don't change, Bob feels the springs may be destroyed.
