Mission Statement

The mission of the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) is to manage water and related natural resources to ensure their continued availability while maximizing environmental, economic and recreational benefits. To identify the critical programmatic areas necessary to fulfill our crucial mission, the SWFWMD created a strategic planning program intended to provide information to our stakeholders and guidance to our staff regarding our pathway toward superior stewardship of our water resources.

Within our Strategic Plan, we have identified several Primary Success Indicators. These Primary Success Indicators will not only provide you with a window into the activities of the SWFWMD, it will also provide our managers with important measurement tools to build upon successes and address shortcomings. You can also access our Budget Performance Measures which are intended to gauge our fiscal performance.

Questions and suggestions regarding this document should be directed to our Planning Department.
