Hydrologic Monitoring Data for Big Cypress National Preserve Roadways

86 monitoring sites along the I-75 and State Road 29 corridors in Big Cypress National Preserve provide baseline hydrologic data. The dataset was collected by CEOS_EXTRA and last updated in September 2009. It aims to study the barrier effects of roadways on sheetflow and support research on Everglades ecosystem processes.

Use Cases

• Model sheetflow barriers by analyzing water flow data from 58 I-75 and 28 SR29 monitoring sites.
• Assess ecosystem health correlations by linking site-specific hydrologic data with geologic and biological process research.
• Establish baseline flow conditions for the 4,300 square mile Southwest Florida Feasibility Study area using collected station data.
• Analyze spatial patterns of hydrologic processes by mapping data from the 86 geolocated monitoring stations.

Strengths

• Data from 86 distinct monitoring sites provides spatial coverage.
• Focus on a major barrier (I-75) offers a specific study context for hydrological impact.

Limitations

• Dataset is stale, with no updates since 2009.
• Specific data types (e.g., flow rate, chemistry) and column details are unknown.
• Sample size per site and temporal resolution are unspecified.
