Extract

Sub-tropical climate and rich organic soils in the Florida Everglades produce rank growths of vegetation in ditches and on their banks. This causes some of the most troublesome problems encountered in the field of water control. The regular cleaning of such channels to allow designed flow presents a costly problem to farmers and drainage districts.
