Water-level conditions in southern Florida
All data presented on this site are considered to be PROVISIONAL DATA and subject to revision pending further review.
USGS STATION NUMBER.-- USGS 253029080295601
LOCATION.-- Lat 25°30'29", long 80°29'56" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in SW 1/4 SE 1/4 sec.35, T.56 S., R.38 E., Miami-Dade County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090202, at Institute of Food and Agricultural Science Station on Waldin Drive (SW 280th Street), 3.3 mi northwest of Homestead, and 4.3 mi west of U.S. Highway 1.
AQUIFER.-- Biscayne limestone aquifer of the Pleistocene Age, Geologic Unit 112 BSCNN.
WELL CHARACTERISTICS.-- Depth 20 ft. Casing diameter 8 in.
DATUM.-- Top of base, 13.68 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, May 25, 2001, to present
PERIOD OF RECORD.-- January 1932 to September 1956, S-196. October 1956 to current year, S-196A.
REMARKS.-- This well replaced S-196 in January 1956. Subsequent revised measuring points were caused by station reconstruction. See DATUM.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.-- Highest daily maximum water level, 9.81 ft NGVD, Aug. 26, 2005; lowest, 1.64 ft below NGVD, May 20, 1971.

D
Continuously recorded water levels for the past 30 days are compared to daily (maximum) water levels from last year, the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record, and daily levels for the 2001 drought year.
Data used to produce the current 30-day hydrograph at S - 196A (253029080295601)
Description of information presented in the current 30-day hydrograph at S - 196A (253029080295601)
The change in daily water-level elevations correlates with time to a 95-percent degree of confidence for the past 35 years of record. A linear regression has been performed against the daily maximum water-level elevations for the past 35 years to quantify a long-term trend in the data. The estimated long-term trend in water level is 0.023 ft/year. (Description of statistical methods)
D
Continuously recorded water levels for the past 90 days are compared to daily (maximum) water levels from last year, the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record, and daily levels for the 2001 drought year.

Daily maximum water levels for the year are compared to water levels from last year, the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record, and daily levels for the 2001 drought year.

Description of information presented in the current year-to-date hydrograph at S - 196A (253029080295601)
The change in daily water-level elevations correlates with time to a 95-percent degree of confidence for the past 35 years of record. A linear regression has been performed against the daily maximum water-level elevations for the past 35 years to quantify a long-term trend in the data. The estimated long-term trend in water level is 0.023 ft/year. (Description of statistical methods)
D
Long-term water-level elevation trends are estimated by statistical analysis, then water-level elevations for the past year are compared to the duration information, compensated for long-term trends, for the corresponding weeks of the year.
