Water level Normal range (10–90 %)

What this means

At 0.69 ft, EDEN 3 in Everglades National Park is below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.26 ft below the median of 0.95 ft for mid-October, based on 20 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 0.80 ft (−0.11 ft).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 0.69 ft and 1.00 ft.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.

What the stage means on the water

Low water means more dragging on shallow riffles and slower floats. Fish crowd into the deeper runs, and warm, low water stresses them, so play and release them quickly.
