| Biographical Information | |
Dr. Diaz is a Research Associate working on Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce phosphorus loads in drainage waters from the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA). He is also involved in environmental studies in the Water Conservation Areas looking at the impact of canal sediments on phosphorus concentrations of water released from Storm-water Treatment Areas. He is a member of the water quality group responsible for preparing BMP training seminars to growers from the EAA. Education |
