Expect slightly lower water levels in Blue Cypress through March and in Ft. The amount of drawdown capacity is determined by a formula known as Boyle's Law. The technique allows for detailed elevation data to be collected over large areas much less expensively than traditional survey methods. Last month, we said that the term drawdown refers to the amount of useable water that can be drawn from a hydro-pneumatic tank from the time the pressure switch cuts out, turning the pump off, until the pressure switch cuts back in, turning on the pump. These pumping tests are completed to ensure enough water. LIDAR has been used over many parts of Florida and the district is working to fill gaps in coverage throughout the district. Transient Non-Community water systems serve 25 or more different people for 60 days or more in a year. The laser pulses reflect off land, but standing water obscures the pulses. LIDAR is a surveying method that creates a 3-D surface model of the ground using laser light pulses emitted and collected from a plane. “A temporary drawdown – less than a foot in Blue Cypress – will allow us to gather critical data we need to manage these important natural resources.”Ī contractor will use Light Detection and Ranging, or LIDAR, to survey Blue Cypress and Ft. Drum Marsh Conservation Area are based on only a few old survey transects,” said District Executive Director Dr. “Ground elevations in both the Blue Cypress Water Management Area and Ft.

These new data will update hydrologic models and ensure environmental goals for both project areas are met. Johns River to facilitate land elevation data collection. Johns River Water Management District plans to temporarily lower water levels slightly in two areas of the headwaters of the St.
