All data presented on this site are considered to be PROVISIONAL DATA and subject to revision pending further review.
USGS STATION NUMBER.-- USGS 02286700
LOCATION.-- Lat 26°19'53", long 80°46'29" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in NE 1/4 sec.7, T.48 S., R.36 E., Broward County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090202, 26 mi south of Lake Harbor, and 26.4 mi downstream from S-354 and pump station 3 at Lake Okeechobee.
DRAINAGE AREA.-- Indeterminate.
PERIOD OF RECORD.-- March 1962 to September 1968 (gage heights and discharge), October 1968 to December 1982, October 1990 to current year.
REMARKS.-- Records fair except for estimated discharges, which are poor. Flow regulated by pumpage and operation of gate at pump station 8, by operation of S-354 and pump station 3 at Lake Okeechobee, and operation of drainage and irrigation pumps upstream. Discharge computed from relations between stage vs. area and index velocity vs. mean channel velocity.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.-- Maximum gage height, 14.95 ft, Oct. 17, 1995; minimum (daily) gage height, 6.02 ft June 7, 1981.

Description of information presented in the current 30-day hydrograph at MIAMI CA AT S8 (02286700)
The change in daily gage height 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 gage height elevations. This approximates, but may not equal, the period of record mean. (Description of statistical methods)
