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

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.
