LORS 2008 Implementation on 10/7/08:

Operations Department Technical Input

Stages in Lake Okeechobee (Lake) are now within the low sub-band.  Inflows from the tributary basins have continued to taper off and are currently in the normal category for the tributary hydrologic conditions.  The seasonal outlook for net inflow into the lake is for dry conditions.  The LORSS recommended discharges are up to 450 cfs at S-79 and up to 200 cfs at S-80, and maximum practical discharges to the south if desired or with minimal impact.

 

 

Refer to the current SFWMD Position Analysis tracking chart and the LOK stage & discharge history for more information.  

 

For further information regarding technical input for this week’s release decision, refer to the Recommendation from the SFWMD's Staff Environmental Advisory Team.
