The Big Cypress Swamp watershed, located in southern Florida, covers approximately 2,840 square miles. It is characterized by a unique hydrological system, which includes a mixture of wetlands, marshes, and upland habitats. The region receives an average of 55 inches of rainfall per year, with most of this precipitation occurring during the summer months. The watershed is prone to flooding due to its low-lying topography and high water table. Snowfall is extremely rare in this region. The surface water in the watershed is mainly composed of streams and rivers, which eventually flow into the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The reservoir constituents in the area are mainly composed of vegetation and sediment. Interestingly, the climate in the region is changing, with temperatures rising and rainfall patterns shifting, which could have significant impacts on the hydrology and ecology of the Big Cypress Swamp watershed in the future.
