Answer 1

Some areas of the Everglades have dried up.

Step-by-step explanation:

These changes have caused some areas of the Everglades to have dried up. The everglades were known as the wetlands due to the massive flooding that occurred often but these canals made it so that water would not flow into some of the areas in the Wetlands. Therefore, since water never reached these areas they quickly began drying up and making the ground infertile due to the lack of water which the plants need to survive.
