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 262228081361901
LOCATION.-- Lat 26°22'28", long 81°36'19" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in SE 1/4 NW 1/4 sec.22, T.47 S., R.27 E., Collier County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090204, Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, north of service road, 0.01 mi west of parking lot, 1 mi west and 0.55 mi north of County Road 846 on County Road 849 and 12 mi north of Immokalee.
AQUIFER.-- Surficial aquifer of the Pleistocene Age, Geologic Unit 112 NRSD. See REMARKS
WELL CHARACTERISTICS.-- Depth 64 ft. Upper casing diameter 6 in.; top of first opening 60 ft, bottom of last opening 64 ft. Artesian well, open hole 60 to 64 ft. See REMARKS.
DATUM.-- Top of shelf, 21.46 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, Oct. 1973 to present
PERIOD OF RECORD.-- October 1973 to September 1984 (daily), October 1984 to October 1986 (intermittent), November 1986 to current year.
REMARKS.-- Well was used for salinity monitoring until September 2004. Borehole camera inspection indicates that this well is open to the aquifer at a depth of 19 ft and is currently 21 ft deep. It is unknown whether or not the cased depth and well depth that were initially reported for this well were incorrect. It is possible that the casing has separated and the well has filled in with rock from the formation. See WELL CHARACTERISTICS.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.-- Highest daily maximum water level, 18.88 ft NGVD, Oct. 19, 1995; lowest, 12.11 ft NGVD, May 31, 2007.

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 C - 492 (262228081361901)
Description of information presented in the current 30-day hydrograph at C - 492 (262228081361901)
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.
