USGS STATION NUMBER.-- USGS 02291500
LOCATION.-- Lat 26°20'07", long 81°44'59" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in SW 1/4 sec.31, T.47 S., R.26 E., Lee County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090204, on left bank, 4 ft downstream of bridge on Orr Road, 0.3 mi north of Bonita Beach Road, 2.0 mi east of U.S. Highway 41 at Bonita Springs, and 7.4 mi upstream from mouth.
DRAINAGE AREA.-- Indeterminate.
PERIOD OF RECORD.-- May 1940 to November 1954, February 1987 to current year.

Continuously recorded gage heights for the past 30 days are compared to daily (mean) gage heights from last year and daily levels for the 2001 drought year.

Description of information presented in the current 30-day hydrograph at IMPERIAL RIVER (02291500)
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)
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.

Gage heights for the past year are compared to the duration information for the corresponding weeks of the year. The duration statistics are based on a zero-slope linear regression of the data from the past 25 years.
