  <dc:description>The Everglades Depth Estimation Network is an integrated network of real-time water-level gaging stations, a 
ground-elevation model, and a water-surface elevation model 
designed to provide scientists, engineers, and water-resource 
managers with water-level and water-depth information 
(1991-2013) for the entire freshwater portion of the Greater 
Everglades. The U.S. Geological Survey Greater Everglades 
Priority Ecosystems Science provides support for the Everglades Depth Estimation Network in order for the Network 
to provide quality-assured monitoring data for the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers Comprehensive Everglades Restoration 
Plan. In a previous study, water-level estimation equations 
were developed to fill in missing data to increase the accuracy of the daily water-surface elevation model. During this 
study, those equations were updated because of the addition 
and removal of water-level gaging stations, the consistent use 
of water-level data relative to the North American Vertical 
Datum of 1988, and availability of recent data (March 1, 2006, 
to September 30, 2011). Up to three linear regression equations were developed for each station by using three different 
input stations to minimize the occurrences of missing data 
for an input station. Of the 667 water-level estimation equations developed to fill missing data at 223 stations, more than 
72 percent of the equations have coefficients of determination 
greater than 0.90, and 97 percent have coefficients of determination greater than 0.70.</dc:description>
