Abstract
Record-high and record-low hydrologic conditions occurred during water year 2007 (October 1, 2006 - September 30, 2007) based on analyses of precipitation, surface-water flows, lake elevations, and ground-water levels.  For example, the streamgage at Suwannee River at White Springs in northwest Florida recorded an annual streamflow of 103 cubic feet per second during 2007, or about 6 percent of the period-of-record average since monitoring began in 1906. Lake Okeechobee in south Florida reached record-low elevations (8.82 feet on July 2) since monitoring began in 1912. Several wells throughout the State registered period-of-record lowest daily maximum water levels.Suggested Citation: Verdi, R.J., Tomlinson, S.A., Irvin, R.B., and Fulcher, D.L., 2009, 	Hydrologic Conditions in Florida during Water Year 2007: 	U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2008-5221, 45 p.For more information, contact:U.S. Geological SurveyFlorida Integrated Science CenterSuite A2002639 North Monroe St.Tallahassee, FL 32303850-553-3676Richard Verdi at [email protected]AccessibilityFOIAPrivacyPolicies and NoticesU.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological SurveyPersistent URL: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5221Page Contact Information: USGS Publishing Network	Page Last Modified: Monday, 30-Mar-2009 10:32:27 EDT	    |
