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 262240080258001
LOCATION.-- Lat 26°17'11", long 80°24'40" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in NE 1/4 sec.11, T.48 S., R.39 E., Broward County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090202, in Conservation Area 2A near L-38 and approximately 7 mi west of Coral Springs.
DRAINAGE AREA.-- Indeterminate.
PERIOD OF RECORD.-- August 1991 to current year. Prior to August 1991, station was operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
REMARKS.-- Land surface is approximately 11.10 ft above National Geodetic Vertical datum of 1929. Gage is capable of recording water levels below land-surface datum. Rainfall data is not published but is available in files of the U.S. Geological Survey. The rainfall record was discontinued September 30, 2003. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains raingage after September 30, 2003.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.-- Maximum gage height, 15.38 ft Dec. 9, 1994; minimum, 10.30 ft May 19, 1999.

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 SITE 17 (262240080258001)
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)

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.
