In an inverse condemnation action Brigham Moore pursued against the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), the trial court ruled that over 1,800 acres of agricultural land bordering the Kissimmee River had been illegally flooded. The SFWMD had argued that its Kissimmee River Restoration Project had been scientifically designed so as not to flood the adjacent properties; however at trial the Court was persuaded by the owners’ presentation that the SFWMD’s computerized predictions were wrong and that the owners were entitled to compensation for the “flooding easement” of over 1,800 acres of land that the government had imposed.
