What is the "normal" river level at Madison Blue?

I'm looking at this website http://www.srwmd.state.fl.us/30DayRi...asp?statid=123
and trying to figure out what is the normal water level for the Withlacoochee River at Madison Blue Spring? Does anybody know? I tried calling Madison Blue SP, Suwannee River SP, and SWRMD. Thanks!

I don't know about Madison. However, you are going to have to go back a few years to get "normal" water levels. Also, new MFLs are going to affect this as well. I would contact SRWMD and ask for one of their PGs.

I think I know where you're trying to go with this, but it really isn't "quite" that black & white.

You can't say, normal level is "X" and when we get there the cave will pump and we can go diving. It very much depends on droughts and how long a given drought has lasted...

It has everything to do with hydrostatic pressure!

Just gotta wait it out.

That site is mostly useful only to figure out trends: that is to figure if the levels are going up or down and at what rate....
