Abstract
Management of water in south Florida requires current hydrologic data on water levels and rainfall. This need is being met by a data processing system which provides near-real-time data from remote areas. The flow of data is from data-collection platforms at field sites via LANDSAT-1 satellite to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) ground-receiving stations to the NASA Data Processing Facility at Goddard Space Flight Center to the Miami office of the U.S. Geological Survey to data users. The process requires only a few hours, and current data are provided to water-management agencies in several different forms. The system has proven to be dependable.
