Monday is the final day to submit any ideas you may have to the Army Corps of Engineers as it forms their new guide on how to manage Lake Okeechobee.

The Army Corps reduced the flow of water into the Caloosahatchee River from Lake Okeechobee on Saturday, and that successfully lowered the lake levels before the rainy season moves in.

As of now there is no water flowing to the east coast.

If you would like to submit your idea to the Army Corps of Engineers on how they should manage Lake Okeechobee, send in your responses here.

For more information about the management of Lake Okeechobee visit the US Army Corps of Engineers website here.
