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 263251081452801
LOCATION.-- Lat 26°32'52", long 81°45'37" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in NE 1/4 NE 1/4 SE 1/4 sec.24, T.45 S., R.25 E., Lee County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090204, 2 mi east of intersection of U.S. Interstate 75 and Daniels Road, 0.3 mi north of airport access road on dirt road and 9.6 mi southeast of Fort Myers Post Office.
AQUIFER.-- Mid-Hawthorn aquifer of the Miocene Age, Geologic Unit 122 HTRNN.
WELL CHARACTERISTICS.-- Depth 242 ft. Upper casing diameter 4 in.; top of first opening 190 ft, bottom of last opening 242 ft. Artesian well, open hole 190 to 242 ft.
DATUM.-- Top of 4-in. casing, 25.19 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, Oct. 22, 2004, to present
PERIOD OF RECORD.-- December 1974 to current year.
REMARKS.-- On December 11, 2002, the well was re-leveled and the land-surface datum was found to be 23.95 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. A -0.69 ft correction has been applied to daily maximum values data prior to October 1, 2001. Corrected records are available in the files of the U.S. Geological Survey. The station was reconstructed on March 9, 1978, March 19, 1983, January 3, 1985, March 15, 2001 and October 22, 2004. See DATUM.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.-- Highest daily maximum water level, 26.10 ft NGVD Nov. 13, 1975 (present datum); lowest, 1.87 ft below NGVD, June 12, 2007. See REMARKS.

D
Continuously recorded water levels for the past 90 days are compared to the daily (maximum) water levels from last year, and to the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record prior to the current water year.
Data used to produce the current 90-day hydrograph at L -1993 (263251081452801)
Description of information presented in the current 90-day hydrograph at L -1993 (263251081452801)
The change in daily water-level elevations correlates with time to a 95-percent degree of confidence for the past 35 years. A second-order regression has been performed against the daily water-level elevations for the past 35 years to quantify a long-term trend in the data. The estimated first-order long-term trend in water level is -0.6887 ft/year. (Description of statistical methods)
D
Daily maximum water levels for the current calendar year are compared to the water levels from last year, and to the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record prior to the current water year.

D
Long-term water-level elevation trends are estimated by statistical analysis, then water-level elevations for the past year are compared to the duration information, compensated for long-term trends, for the corresponding weeks of the year.
