Summary
This task of the project collects continuous hydrological data from a network of 16 sites along several drainages in the coastal Everglades. Sites vary from freshwater wetlands (in headwater areas) to mangrove forests in downstream, tidal regions.
Info derived
Surface-water stage, temperature and conductivity; Ground-water level, temperature and conductivity; Depth and duration of wetland flooding
Comments
