Summary
|
The goal of this project is to calculate water discharge into Florida Bay. |
As part of the South Florida Ecosystem Program, the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with Everglades National Park, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the South Florida Water Management District, is conducting a study to measure flows into east Florida Bay. Information from this study will be used in conjunction with data from other studies to help determine the effects of changes in water deliveries to Everglades National Park on the Florida Bay ecosystem. Flow into Florida Bay is closely related to sediment transport, salinity, and chemical characteristics of the bay, which in turn, determine and interact with biological characteristics. Additionally, freshwater-inflow data will be used as input to hydrodynamic models of Florida Bay, for calibration of hydrologic models of the mainland, and for water-budget determinations for south Florida-all of which are essential elements for resource management and the ecosystem restoration.
