Everglades Depth Estimation Network (EDEN) for Support of Biological and Ecological Assessments
Providing real-time hydrologic tools for biological and ecological assessments for adaptive management

The GrAdient-Related Discharge in an Everglades Network (GARDEN) application uses EDEN water levels to estimate flow volumes through the entire EDEN domain on a daily basis. The flow vectors can be represented at the same discretization as the EDEN grid spacing and yield insight into the effects of surface-water controls and the distribution and destinations of water released in the greater Everglades.
GARDEN was developed with support from the USGS Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystem Science program and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
ETree is a web application and decision support tool that shows hydrologic indicators at hundreds of tree islands in the Greater Everglades. It uses tree island elevations and water levels from EDEN to estimate hydrometrics such as hydroperiod, number of days since last dry, and maximum depth. ETree was developed by USGS in collaboration with the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida.
The Everglades Depth Estimation Network (EDEN) is an integrated network of water-level gages, interpolation models, and applications that generates daily water-level data and derived hydrologic data across the freshwater part of the greater Everglades landscape. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Geological Survey Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystem Sciences provides support for EDEN and for the goal of providing consistent, documented, and readily accessible hydrologic and ground-elevation data for the Everglades.
