SFRC T-531 Annual Hydrology Review: Everglades National Park 1977

The dynamic equilibrium of the hydrologic parameters and the response of the water budget directly affects all ecological aspects of Everglades National Park. An intensive hydrologic program of water management is mandatory if the quality of the Everglades is to be preserved. The initial thrust for such a program depends on a complete understanding of the hydrologic balance in the Park. Throughout the years both the National Park Service and the U.S. Geological Survey have documented hydrologic inputs for South Florida and the Everglades. Some monitoring stations have periods of record exceeding 30 years of tabulation. The program has developed to such an extent that presently there are over 100 hydrologic monitoring stations (continuous and discontinuous) throughout Everglades National Park. These records, then, are they key to the past which enable researchers to assess present hydrologic conditions and formulate conclusions regarding the nature of the hydrologic balance for a given year.
