Hendry County soils range from deep organic muck in the sugar cane regions around Clewiston to poorly drained sandy flatwoods near LaBelle. The muck soils subside when drained and require specialized agricultural drainage management.

June through October delivers approximately 68% of annual rainfall. The county's agricultural irrigation schedule interacts with natural rainfall to affect drainage timing.

Hendry County Drainage Engineering Notes

Hendry County's economy is dominated by sugar cane agriculture, and the drainage infrastructure reflects this — an extensive network of canals, pump stations, and field drainage systems designed for crop production rather than residential stormwater management. As development pressure increases near LaBelle and Clewiston, engineers must design residential drainage systems that coexist with and connect to this agricultural infrastructure without compromising crop drainage or increasing downstream flooding.
