REMARKS -

Water Year 2022: Records fair, except those above 100 ft³/s and those for estimated discharges, which are poor.

Water Years 2017-2021: Records fair, except those for estimated discharges, which are poor.

Water Years 2015-2016: Records good, except those above 200 ft³/s, which are fair, and those for estimated daily discharges, which are poor.

Water Year 2014: Records good, except those for estimated daily discharges, which are poor.

Water Year 2013 and prior years' accuracy statements can be found in Annual Water Data Reports.

WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: August 2013 to current year. WATER TEMPERATURE: August 2013 to current year. TURBIDITY: August 2013 to current year.

COOPERATION - Funding for water-quality data collection and analysis is provided by the Harford County Government and the U.S. Geological Survey.

INSTRUMENTATION - Water-quality monitor, August 2013 to current year.

REMARKS - Turbidity values greater than 1,000 formazin nepthelometric units (FNU) exceed the instrument calibration range. Values are included in the record but are presumed to have lower precision. Missing record due to periodic instrumentation malfunction.
