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 262158081283401
LOCATION.-- Lat 26°22'00", long 81°28'36" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in SE 1/4 SW 1/4 sec.24, T.47 S., R.28 E., Collier County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090204, 30 ft north of County Road 846, 2.8 mi east of Oil Grade Road and 4.5 mi southwest of Immokalee.
AQUIFER.-- Surficial aquifer of the Pleistocene Age, Geologic Unit 112 NRSD.
WELL CHARACTERISTICS.-- Depth 60 ft. Upper casing diameter 6 in.; top of first opening 40 ft, bottom of last opening 60 ft.
DATUM.-- Top of shelf, 24.84 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, Oct. 24, 1996, to present
PERIOD OF RECORD.-- October 1984 to September 1996 (monthly), October 1996 to current year.
REMARKS.-- The figures of water level as elevation, in feet NGVD, prior to October 2001, are in error. A +6.05 ft correction has been applied to correct water-level data prior to October 2001. A correction of -0.03 ft has been applied to water-level data from October 2001 to September 2002. Corrected records are in files of the U.S. Geological Survey. See DATUM.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.-- Highest daily maximum water level, 21.71 ft NGVD, Oct. 24, 25, 2006; lowest, 14.53 ft NGVD, May 22, 2001.

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 C - 981 (262158081283401)
Description of information presented in the current 30-day hydrograph at C - 981 (262158081283401)
The change in daily water-level elevations has not been mathematically correlated to time for the period of record based on operational considerations. Instead of a long-term trend line, the data are, therefore, compared to the zero-slope (flat, linear) regression curve for the existing period of record daily water-level elevations. This approximates, but may not equal, the period of record mean. (Description of statistical methods)

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.

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.
