Development has negatively affected the everglades. Many places were drained, filled in, and built on. This gets rid of viable animal habitats, and also pollutes the water.

Drainage and development for agriculture and urbanization have significantly altered the natural flow of water in the Everglades, leading to the loss of vital habitats for plants and animals. Pollution from agricultural runoff and urban activities has degraded water quality in the Everglades, affecting the health of the ecosystem and its inhabitants.
The main body of water in Florida is The Everglades.
Another name for the Everglades is the "River of Grass." The Everglades has been significantly reduced from its original size, shrinking by approximately 50% due to urban development, agriculture, and water management practices. This reduction has had a profound impact on the ecosystem and biodiversity of the region.

Fresh water. The Florida Everglades is actually a moving body of water, often referred to as the "river of grass".
Urban areas surrounding the Everglades pose a threat through habitat destruction, water pollution, and altered water flow due to development. Runoff from agriculture and urban landscapes can introduce nutrients and contaminants into the wetlands, disrupting the delicate ecosystem. Additionally, urban sprawl can lead to increased drainage and diversion of water that is critical for maintaining the Everglades' unique environment. These pressures can threaten biodiversity and the overall health of this vital ecosystem.
People hoped that the trees would dry up the land and make Everglades suitable for development.
