Significantly High Rainfall in the Lake
Okeechobee tributaries for the past 5 years

• Wet Season rainfall over the Upper Kissimmee
  Basin was above average in 2001, 2002, 2003,
  2004, 2005. 
• These five wet seasons yielded an more than 41
  of extra rainfall
• The return period for 2004 wet season was 50
  years.  
• The Lake Okeechobee watershed is about three
  times larger than the Lake
• so excess rainfall over the watershed can result
  in a three-fold increase in the Lake Okeechobee
  stage. 
• For example, an extra 5 in the watershed could
  produce 15 of extra water in the Lake.
