Building dams and canals.

In 1947, Congress created the Basic and Southern Florida Flood Control Project, which produced 1,400 miles (2,300 km) of canals, levees, and water control devices. The Miami metropolitan area increased considerably at this time and Everglades water was diverted to cities. Portions of the Everglades were modified into farmland, where the original crop was sugarcane. Almost 50 percent of the original Everglades has been revealed as agricultural or urban areas.
