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 263845081260701
LOCATION.-- Lat 26°38'47", long 81°26'09" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in NW 1/4 NW 1/4 sec.21, T.44 S., R.29 E., Hendry County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090205, at southeast corner of intersection of State Road 29 and Sears Road, and 3.6 mi west of Sears.
AQUIFER.-- Sandstone aquifer of the Miocene Age, Geologic Unit 122 SNDS.
WELL CHARACTERISTICS.-- Depth 270 ft. Upper casing diameter 4 in.; top of first opening 250 ft, bottom of last opening 270 ft. Artesian well.
DATUM.-- Top of casing, 32.83 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, Jan. 1, 1975, to present
PERIOD OF RECORD.-- January 1975 to October 1983 (daily), November 1983 to September 1995 (monthly), December 2001 to current year.
REMARKS.-- Records from January 1975 to September 30, 1978, require a -2.80 ft correction. Published records from October 1, 1978, through October 1983 require a +1.99 ft correction. Corrected data, including unpublished records of water levels prior to October 1980, are in the files of the U.S. Geological Survey. See DATUM.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.-- Highest daily maximum water level, 27.23 ft NGVD, Sept. 26, 1983; lowest, 9.48 ft NGVD, May 17, 2002.

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 HE - 555 (263845081260701)
Description of information presented in the current 30-day hydrograph at HE - 555 (263845081260701)
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 -0.099 ft/year. (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.

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.
