The Suwannee River Water Management District works to protect and manage water resources to support natural systems and the needs of the public.

The mission of the Suwannee River Water Management District is to protect and manage water resources to support natural systems and the needs of the public. The Suwannee River Water Management District is one of five regional water management districts in Florida, created by the Florida Legislature through passage of the Water Resources Act of 1972. Suwannee is the smallest of the state's water management districts in terms of geographic area, population served, tax base, and agency staff.

Florida’s freshwater springs are an important part of our natural heritage. They support wildlife, attract visitors, and offer great opportunities for outdoor recreation year-round.

That’s why I was proud to announce $100 million for a total of 45 projects to restore Florida’s springsheds and expand our state’s clean water supply. These strategic investments will build on the progress we’ve made in protecting our natural resources and improving water quality in communities across Florida, so that we can leave this state to God better than we found it.

Happy Florida Forests Week!

Florida’s forests do more than provide beautiful places to explore - they help protect water quality, support wildlife, and contribute to the health of our springs, rivers, and aquifer. This week, we celebrate the vital role forests play in keeping North Florida’s natural resources healthy for generations to come.

New US Drought Monitor report released this morning shows some improvement for the District. This is the first time this year the District hasn't had some amount of Extreme or Exceptional drought conditions, and some areas show no drought conditions at all.

Recent rainfall is definitely helping. However, there remains some level of drought across much of the District, and we continue to encourage everyone to maintain their water conservation measures. The District's Modified Phase II Water Shortage Order remains in place through the end of the year.

A rainy start to the month of October is more than welcome. Rainfall totals through the first 11 days this month are more than double the long-term monthly average for October. This increased rainfall is helping improve our drought conditions and groundwater deficit. With the possibility of a wetter-than average few months ahead due to the strong El Niño, we anticipate groundwater conditions will continue to improve. In the meantime, we continue to ask everyone to maintain their water conservation efforts.

The track of Hurricane Isaias still appears to be staying west of the District, but we will still feel some of the impacts, especially on the western part of the District, today and tomorrow. We continue to monitor this system and work in coordination with our local emergency management officials.

10/08/2026

Rain is expected over the next several days at Hurricane Isaias approaches the western part of the state. The District offers an easy way to track rainfall totals in your area by visiting our real-time rainfall page, located at http://www.mysuwanneeriver.org/realtime/rain-levels.php

10/07/2026

The District is monitoring Tropical Storm Isaias and is coordinating with local and state emergency management. As a reminder, District lands are closed for any areas where a Tropical Storm Warning is issued. No District lands are currently closed and we will post notifications if closures do take place.
