If the diversion of water in Lake Okeechobee were stopped and allowed to flow freely again, it would likely restore the natural hydrology of the surrounding wetlands and estuaries. This could improve the health of the ecosystem, promoting biodiversity and revitalizing habitats for fish and wildlife. However, it might also lead to increased flooding in certain areas, potentially affecting agricultural lands and human settlements nearby. Additionally, the water quality could improve, reducing harmful algal blooms that have been exacerbated by altered water flow.
