New Measuring Standard Improves Accuracy of Water Level Data
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) upgraded the reference system used to measure water elevation readings in our monitoring network. SFWMD shifted from reporting water elevation readings in the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). This includes data within the SFWMD’s environmental database for hydrologic, meteorologic, hydrogeologic and water quality data.
