Glades County Soil & Drainage Profile
Glades County soils are almost entirely poorly drained, reflecting the county's low-lying position adjacent to Lake Okeechobee. The seasonal high water table is within 12 inches of the surface across most of the county.
June through October delivers approximately 65% of annual rainfall. Lake Okeechobee stage levels significantly influence local water table elevations.
Typical Moore Haven Drainage Solutions
- Lakefront property drainage with elevated berms and pump-assisted systems
- Rural residential swale grading with retention areas
- Canal-connected drainage for agricultural properties
Glades County Drainage Engineering Notes
As one of Florida's least populated counties, Glades County has minimal stormwater infrastructure and limited permitting resources. Most drainage projects are on rural residential or agricultural properties where the primary challenge is managing the extremely high water table — often within inches of the surface during the wet season. Property-level pump stations are common for lakefront properties in Moore Haven.
