The thing about water is …
Sometimes it’s difficult to water down.

| Hydrograph of discharge through Caloosahatchee’s S-79 structure, 2016 to present, in cubic feet per second |
The inevitable result is too many lines, numbers, and outputs off all types …
Usually leaving everyone gasping for air for it to be distilled into one chart.

In sum, the water is more complex than any one chart.
But sometimes a good chart, properly rendered, can help simplify the math.
