Daily evaporation rates were calculated at the open-water LZ40-platform in the interior of Lake Okeechobee, Florida, from December 1, 2012 through December 31, 2016 using five methods (Shoemaker et al., 2024); specifically, the Penman, Priestly-Taylor, Mass-Transfer, Simple, and Turc equations. Bowen-ratio energy-budget derived daily evaporation rates calculated from micro-meteorological data at the LZ40 site (Wacker, 2020) are considered a standard by which to evaluate the five alternative evaporation methods. Parameterization of each of method and comparison of evaporation using each of the five methods to the Bowen ratio estimates are published by Shoemaker and others (2024).

A Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefile and summary tables of the extent of irrigated agricultural land-use are provided for eleven counties fully or partially within the St. Johns River Water Management District (full-county extents of: Brevard, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Indian River, Nassau, Osceola, Putnam, Seminole, St. Johns, and Volusia counties). These files were compiled through a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Agricultural Water Policy. Information provided in the shapefile includes the location of irrigated lands that were verified during field surveying that started in November 2022 and concluded in...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) cooperated with Miami-Dade County to map the approximate inland extent of saltwater intrusion in the Biscayne aquifer in eastern Miami-Dade County, Florida in 2022. This map is a continuation of a series of maps, the most recent of which was published in 2018, which have helped to track the position of the saltwater interface over time and have improved understanding of the rate of movement of the saltwater interface. To estimate the position of the saltwater interface, relevant data including chloride concentrations, specific conductance, and bulk conductivity from time-series electromagnetic induction logs collected by various organizations including the Florida Keys Aqueduct...

The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have evaluated projections of future (2056-95) droughts for south Florida based on climate model output from the Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs (MACA) downscaled climate dataset from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). The emission scenarios evaluated include representative concentration pathways RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 from CMIP5. The analysis was performed for four regions in the SFWMD: (1) the entire SFWMD, (2) the Lower West Coast (LWC) water supply region, (3) the Lower East Coast (LEC) water supply region, and (4) the Okeechobee plus (OKEE+) water supply meta-region consisting of Lake Okeechobee...

The Everglades Depth Estimation Network (EDEN) is an integrated network of water-level gages, interpolation models, web applications, and decision support tools that generates daily water-level data and derived hydrologic data across the freshwater part of south Florida's Greater Everglades. EDEN provides continuous daily water-level and depth surfaces on a 400-meter grid using an interpolation algorithm, a network of over 200 gaging stations, and a digital elevation model (DEM). The water-level surfaces cover an area of 9,132 square kilometers and the water depth surfaces cover an area of 7,491 square kilometers. For a subset of gaging stations, ground elevation measurements were taken to better understand the...
