REVISIONS HISTORY - WDR-US-2013, site 265501080364900: 2012 gage-height daily values tables and extremes record, (based upon levels run Aug. 5, 2013). Daily values are available online at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - August 1976 to current year.
GAGE - Satellite data collection platform with water-stage shaft encoder and acoustic Doppler velocity meter. Datum of gage is National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929.
COOPERATION - South Florida Water Management District.
REMARKS - Discharge computed from relations between stage vs. area and index velocity vs. mean channel velocity. Flow regulated by gated structure at Lake Okeechobee. Positive flow is considered to be to the east, or away from Lake Okeechobee. Flow reverses during and after periods of heavy rainfall because of pumpage into the canal from agricultural lands in the Everglades.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum gage height, 19.39 ft Oct. 19, 1995; minimum, 7.60 ft May 7, 2008.
