Continuously recorded water levels for the past 90 days are compared to the daily (maximum) water levels from last year, and to the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record prior to the current water year.

The change in daily water-level elevations correlates with time to a 95-percent degree of confidence for the past 25 years of record. A linear regression has been performed against the daily maximum water-level elevations for the past 25 years to quantify a long-term trend in the data. The estimated long-term trend in water level is -0.064 ft/year. (Description of statistical methods)
Daily maximum water levels for the current calendar year are compared to the water levels from last year, and to the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record prior to the current water year.

The change in daily water-level elevations correlates with time to a 95-percent degree of confidence for the past 25 years of record. A linear regression has been performed against the daily maximum water-level elevations for the past 25 years to quantify a long-term trend in the data. The estimated long-term trend in water level is -0.064 ft/year. (Description of statistical methods)
Long-term water-level elevation trends are estimated by statistical analysis, then water-level elevations for the past year are compared to the duration information, compensated for long-term trends, for the corresponding weeks of the year.
