Collection of flow data in the canal C-111 overbank and adjacent wetland area began in September 1997 near the conclusion of the spoil removal efforts. Data were collected along 9 to 12 transect lines covering the 7.1-km segment of C-111 beginning 1.1 km north of US Hwy 1 bridge and ending 2 km south of S-18C. Transects originate at locations on the southwest bank of the canal opposite culverts under the levee road on the northeast bank and extend normal to the canal approximately 1.5 km into the adjacent wetlands. Transects lines are numbered 1 through 9 beginning with the culvert nearest US Hwy 1 bridge. Measurement sites are spaced at variable-length intervals along the transect lines.
Five basic water-quality parameters (temperature, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and salinity) were collected at each site having sufficient depth using a Hydrolab multi-parameter sensor positioned at mid-depth.
For a more complete description of data collection, processing, and analysis, see OFR 00-56, Flow-Velocity Data Collected in the Wetlands Adjacent to Canal C-111 in South Florida During 1997 AND 1999.
