Water Supply Department Technical Input

 

Water Supply Outlook:

District wide, Raindar rainfall 1.27” for the week ending 09/23/2008. Lake stage on 09/21/2008 is 15.07 ft, down 0.08 from last week.

 

The updated September 2008 SFWMM Position Analysis percentile graph and tracking chart for Lake Okeechobee show that the current lake stage is in the Low Release band and the likelihood of dropping into the Water Shortage Management zone for the on-coming dry season is extremely small.

 

The LORS2008 tributary indices for the regions north are near normal for the month of September. The LONIN is in the wet range.
