Lake Okeechobee Conditions Report October 2, 2007:

 

According to the USACE web site, Lake Okeechobee stage is 9.85’ NGVD, which is 0.07’ higher than a week ago and 0.33’ higher than a month ago.  The current stage is 3.52’ lower than it was a year ago and remains approximately 5’ below its historical average for this time of year.  Total surface inflows are not reported due to missing data from the S65E (Kissimmee River) and Fisheating Creek.  Using reported discharges from the S65C to estimate contributions from the Kissimmee River, total inflows are approximately 900 cfs.  No surface outflows are reported.

 

During September, 20 of 27 water quality sampling sites had sufficient water for sampling.  Data from this sampling event should be available this week.  The October submerged-aquatic-vegetation (SAV) monitoring is being conducted this week.
