This gage is monitored in cooperation with the Southwest Florida Water Management District. |
REMARKS.-- Discharge measurements made approximately, 0.25 mi upstream of bridge on State Highway 484, 5 mi downstream from head of springs; surface inflow between springs and measuring site is negligible except after heavy rains. Discharge computed from relation between artesian pressure at Rainbow Springs well and discharge at measuring site through October 2019. Starting October 2019, discharge is computed from velocity readings at the gage. Artesian pressures are published as water levels for Rainbow Springs Well (290514082270701) in Water Resources Data for Florida annual data report.
