In lake Environment & Recreational Use Lake Okeechobee is a Regional Multiple Purpose Water Resource
Regional Hydrologic System of South Florida • Water Supply • Agriculture • Urban • Natural Systems • Flood Protection • Environmental and Ecosystem Preservation and Restoration • Lake Okeechobee Littoral Zone • Caloosahatchee, and St Lucie Estuaries • Everglades Hydroperiod Restoration • Recreational
Lake Okeechobee Inflows & Outflows Taylor Crk Kissimmee Nubbin Slough C-41A, C-40 & C-41 S-135 S-308 St Lucie may inflow if Lake is < 14.5 Fisheating Creek (Uncontrolled) & C-5 Lake Okeechobee C-10 S-77 80% East & West 20% South S-352 Inflowcapacityexceeds outflowcapacity. S-354 S-351 S-2 & S-3 under large rainfall may pump to Lake Lake Okeechobee's drainage basin covers more than 4,600 square miles

Potential Predictors of Lake Okeechobee Net Inflow • Antecedent Conditions of the Tributary Basins • El Nino/La Nina • Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation • North Atlantic Oscillation • Pacific Decadal Oscillation • Atlantic Meridional Mode • Extent of the Atlantic Warm pool • Various Scales of Solar Activity
Lake Okeechobee Net Inflow Outlook (LONINO) • Estimation of the change in lake stage over the next 6 months (Seasonal Forecast) and 7-12 months (Multi-seasonal Forecast) • Forecasts are part of WSE decision-making process
Seasonal Forecast • Always 6-months in duration • Methods: • For Development of WSE: • Artificial Neural Network Modeling • For Application • Croley’s method • HSM Experimental • AMO/ENSO Subsampling • CPC climate forecasts applied to Lake Inflow time series
Multi-Seasonal Forecasts • Multi-season: Remainder of current season + next season. Duration: • For Development of WSE: • Neural Network based seasonal forecasts + forecasts for the remaining months based on ENSO in dry season, and AMO/PDO in wet season • Application • Croley • HSM Experimental • AMO/ENSO Subsampling
