Re: Lake Okeechobee: Latest rains not making big impact, so far
What good is the rain over Lake O if they keep on draining the Lake. The damn system needs to be repaired otherwise we'll be in this drought indefinitely.

*** NOTE: 1) Discharge from (0700-2100) is computed using Spillway and Sector
Gate Discharges from 0700 hrs to 2100 hrs.
2) Discharge (ALL DAY) is computed using Spillway, Sector Gate and
Lockages Discharges from 0015 hrs to 2400 hrs.
______________________________________________________________________________
(I) - Flows preceeded by "I" signify an instantaneous
flow computed from the single value reported for the day
______________________________________________________________________________
* As of 11 May 1999, Lake Okeechobee Elevation was switched from
Instantaneous 2400 value to an average-daily lake average.
On 14 Mar 2001, due to the isolation of various gages within the standard
10 stations, we began using the average of the interior 4 station gages
as the official Lake Okeechobee Elevation.
* On 16 April 2007, Lake Okeechobee Elevation was switched to a 8 gage
mixture of interior and exterior gages due to wind effects on Lake O
(When the 4 station gages are not working the 10 station elevation is used)
Today Lake Okechobee elevation is determined from the 4 interior stations
