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 260325080113901
LOCATION.-- Lat 26°03'28", long 80°11'38" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in SE 1/4 NW 1/4 sec.31, T.50 S., R.42 E., Broward County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090202, 29 ft south of a storm drain on the east side of SW 35th Terrace, 0.45 mi south of Griffin Road.
AQUIFER.-- Biscayne limestone aquifer of the Pleistocene Age, Geologic Unit 112 BSCNN.
WELL CHARACTERISTICS.-- Depth 114.5 ft. Upper casing diameter 2 in.; top of first opening 104.5 ft, bottom of last opening 114.5 ft.
DATUM.-- Top of base, 9.44 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, Feb. 15, 2001, to present
PERIOD OF RECORD.-- Water Level Measurements: October 2000 to March 2001 (monthly), March 2001 to current year. Induction
REMARKS.-- Well is also used for salinity monitoring, including an annual induction log. See PERIOD OF RECORD. Induction logs are used to assess the movement of fresh-water/salt-water interface in ground water. See RECORDS OF BULK CONDUCTIVITY . A calibration error was found to have affected some of the historical bulk conductivity logs collected by an induction logger. Bulk conductivity logs prior to the 2002 water year had been calibrated to a standard of 1,301 mS/m. For these calibrations, an internal setting limited the probe response to 1,000 mS/m. Data for the affected years was corrected by applying a 0.7686 multiplier. Station was reconstructed in February 2001, for the collection of continuous water-level, temperature and specific conductance data. Because of the failure of a conductance probe element, specific conductance data, originally collected October 2004 to February 2005, has been removed from the station data record. Temperature records are available in the files of the U.S. Geological Survey.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.-- Highest daily maximum water level, 4.20 ft NGVD, May 27, 28, 2003; lowest, 0.62 ft NGVD, May 8, 10, 11, 2002. Highest daily mean specific conductance, 11,660 microsiemens per centimeter, June 1,2, 2007; lowest, 7,718 microsiemens per centimeter, Oct. 27, 2001.

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.

Description of information presented in the current 30-day hydrograph at G -2900 (260325080113901)
The change in daily water-level 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 water-level elevations. This approximates, but may not equal, the period of record mean. (Description of statistical methods)
