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 262750080175001
LOCATION.-- Lat 26°27'50", long 80°17'50" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in T.50 S., R.40 E., Palm Beach County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090202, in Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge (Arthur R. Marshall Park). Township and range approximated from topographic map for which most section lines are not delineated, unable to determine section.
DRAINAGE AREA.-- Indeterminate.
REVISED RECORD.-- WDR FL-97-2A, 1997.
PERIOD OF RECORD.-- July 1991 to current year.
REMARKS.-- Land surface is approximately 15 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (benchmark provided by FDEP converted from NAVD 88 survey levels through VERTCON to NGVD 1929). Station is one of several located in Conservation Area No. 1. Gage is capable of recording water levels below land-surface datum. Rainfall data is not published, but available in files of the U.S. Geological Survey. The rainfall record was discontinued September 30, 2003.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.-- Maximum gage height, 18.02 ft Oct. 15, 1999 (present datum); minimum, 14.74 ft July 3, 2004.

Continuously recorded gage heights for the past 30 days are compared to daily (mean) gage heights from last year, the FY2000 water level schedule for Lake Okeechobee, and daily levels for the 2001 drought year.

Description of information presented in the current 30-day hydrograph at SITE 9 (262750080175001)
The change in daily gage height 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 gage height elevations for the past 35 years to quantify a long-term trend in the data. The estimated long-term trend in gage height is 0.004 ft/year. (Description of statistical methods)
D
Continuously recorded gage heights for the past 90 days are compared to daily (mean) gage heights 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.
