New Rainfall-Based Management Plan for More Natural Water Deliveries to the Everglades Shark River Slough
The goal of the rainfall-based management plan is to improve the amount, timing and distribution of flow to the Shark River Slough, the main waterway of the Everglades National Park, South Florida. An essential component of this plan is a Rainfall-Driven Formula, RDF, which provides flow target estimates in response to recent and current weather conditions. In this study, an improvement to the existing plan is provided by introducing a new RDF to predict a more natural flow target and hence delivery. An Artificial Neural Network with one hidden layer and one output layer was trained using a concise set of rainfall, evapotranspiration, and flow data. A South Florida Water Management Model (SFWMM) simulation is used to demonstrate the applicability of the developed formula to manage the water resource infrastructure proposed by the USACE's Combined Structural and Operational Plan (CSOP).
