Trend Analysis of Lake Parker Stage and Relation to Various Hydrologic Factors, 1950-86, Lakeland, Florida

摘要

The purpose of the report is to analyze existing data on lake stage, ground-water levels, public-supply pumpage, and climatic data to determine: if Lake Parker stage is in a long-term declining trend, if any detected trends are occurring only at Lake Parker or are typical of regional trends in lake stage, rainfall, ground-water levels, and evaporation, and how Lake Parker stage is related to rainfall, evaporation, ground-water levels, and public-supply ground-water pumpage. The scope of the investigation included statistical analyses of hydrologic data collected at Lake Parker and other sites within a 30-mile radius of Lake Parker. One ground-water site was in Hillsborough County, just west of the Polk County line, and all other data were from within Polk County.
