Welcome to the LOONE Planning App! This is a tool intended to help managers of Lake Okeechobee and its canals better plan how much water to release seasonally from the lake while considering water quality criteria.

• Estimates of year-in-advance water quantity and quality conditions
• Selection of key lake conditions (hydrological outlook, lake start levels)
• Considerations of lake physical and operational constraints

• The user interface displays two columns of information. Input parameters are modified on the left, scenario results appear on the plots on the right. To setup the desire scenario conditions, simply select the expected rainfall for the year (dry, average, wet), lake initial water level (14-16 ft) and provide the desired/expected discharges out to the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie canals. Once the desired set of conditions are entered, the model can be run (submit button on the lower right) and simulations results will appear on the right columns within a few minutes. Results are presented for the lake itself, as well as discharges to Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie canals. Each plots includes several times series of water quantity, nitrogen, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a. Plots are customizable and downloadable.
• Hover over the input plots to reveal additional controls for zooming and panning.
• Click on a trace in the legend of any output plot to hide or show it.
