Abstract:
The Shark Slough region of Everglades National Park is the largest freshwater flow system in south Florida. It serves as an area of water storage and recharge for the Biscayne Aquifer, provides critical habitat for a diverse assemblage of marsh dwelling fauna and flora and acts as a major source of fresh water to the estuarine areas of Everglades National Park. Water management requires a documentation of historical and present water quality and an understanding of the factors which influence changes in water quality. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between specific conductance and ionic composition for long-term water quality monitoring stations in Shark Slough (Figure I) and to evaluate the usage of specific conductance as a tool to document water quality changes in Everglades National Park.
