Analysis of Water Level Data For Everglades National Park, Florida

T. J. Buchanan and J.H. Hartwell

ABSTRACT

Stage-duration curves were developed for five gaging stations in Everglades National Park, Florida. Four of the five curves show similar characteristics with an increase in the slope when the water level is below land surface.� Monthly stage-duration curves, developed for one of the stations, reflect the seasonal trends of the water level.

Recession curves were prepared for the same five stations.� These curves represent the average water-level decline during periods of little or no rainfall.� They show the decline in level at the end of 10, 20, and 60 days for any given initial stage.� A family of curves was also prepared to give the recession from various initial stages for any period up to 60 days.
