Continuously recorded water levels for the past 30 days are compared to daily (maximum) water levels from last year, the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record, and daily levels for the 2001 drought year.

Description of information presented in the current 30-day hydrograph at F - 291 (260010080085001)
The change in daily water-level elevations correlates with time to a 95-percent degree of confidence for the past 25 years of record. A linear regression has been performed against the daily maximum water-level elevations for the past 25 years to quantify a long-term trend in the data. The estimated long-term trend in water level is 0.019 ft/year. (Description of statistical methods)
Continuously recorded water levels for the past 90 days are compared to daily (maximum) water levels from last year, the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record, and daily levels for the 2001 drought year.

The estimated long-term trend in water level is 0.019 ft/year. (Description of statistical methods)
Daily maximum water levels for the year are compared to water levels from last year, the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record, and daily levels for the 2001 drought year.

The change in daily water-level elevations correlates with time to a 95-percent degree of confidence for the past 25 years of record. A linear regression has been performed against the daily maximum water-level elevations for the past 25 years to quantify a long-term trend in the data. The estimated long-term trend in water level is 0.019 ft/year. (Description of statistical methods)
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.
