Focus
Storm Water Management
Water Hubs are literally a pipe dream. They would redefine and revolutionize Storm Water Management by combining natural systems with man made innovation. Potentially handling 100,000 of acre feet or more of water each of these would be substantial in size and scope with the intent of capturing, cleaning and then moving water to critical areas.
How Do We Pay for It?
What is the ecological and economical potential
Prerequisite
1. De-Schedule Industrial Hemp
Florida’s Governor and/or the Attorney General have the power to de-schedule hemp without any discussion or approval required.
Florida’s legislature can also de-schedule hemp through legislative action.
2. Legislative action to exempt Hemp from corporate taxes.
Replace corporate taxes with a Hemp4Water fee.
Direct Amendment 1 (2014) revenue to the Hemp4Water project..

Still not fast enough?
Use Amendment 1 from 2014 – 33% of doc stamps goes to water/land conservation/restoration
