Graph showing effect of long-term trends on correlation analyses of water level in well and rainfall at well

Figure 7. Effect of long-term trends on correlation analyses of water level in well and rainfall at well. Unique events in rainfall and water levels, such as droughts, cannot be directly correlated without considering the possible effect of trends.

Funding for the USGS to design and maintain this site has been provided through a cooperative agreement with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Water-level conditions are monitored by the USGS with support from Federal, State, and local cooperators.
