A single SFWMM flow dataset (USACE and SFWMD, electronic correspondence,

February 2 and 3, 2006) was used in modeling all three configurations. However, the

quantity and source of flows to each compartment and STA 3/4 varied depending on the

configuration. Each configuration will be described in detail in the remainder of this

section.

Single Compartment EAASR

 The single compartment EAASR configuration was modeled as presented in

Figure 3-2. The single compartment used all of the 30,720 acres available. All possible

inflows sources to the EAASR and STA 3/4 are represented in the configuration.

 A flow diagram for the single compartment reservoir and STA 3/4 is presented in

Figure 3-3. The EAASR and STA 3/4 receive inflows via the North New River (NNR)

Canal and Miami Canal, which are shown on the east and west side of the EAASR in

Figure 3-3. The EAASR receives inflows from four external sources: NNR basin runoff,

Miami basin runoff, Lake Okeechobee (LOK) regulatory release through the NNR Canal,

and LOK regulatory releases through the Miami Canal. Water is released to the

agricultural basins or south to STA 3/4. STA 3/4 receives flow from NNR and Miami

basin runoff, LOK through the NNR and Miami Canals, and the EAASR. The STA

discharges to the water conservation Areas (WCA). Figure 3-3 and those like it represent

the aggregation by source of SFWMM flow tags. All flows are actively operated in the

SFWMM and are constrained by flow capacity and/or crest elevation.
