Water-Year
Summary
instructions
and
information
- Water-Year Summary reports summarize a year of hydrologic data in a printer-friendly format.
- For water years 2014 onward, choose a water year and parameter and an on-demand Water-Year Summary report will be generated.
- For water years 2006 through 2013, choose a water year and an Annual Water Data Report will be provided.
- For water years 2005 and earlier, Annual Water Data Reports may be available in digital format.
- Not all sites have reports available for every water year.

PERIOD OF RECORD -
DISCHARGE: November 2002 to current year.
GAGE-HEIGHT: November 2002 to current year.
DISCHARGE: November 2002 to current year.
GAGE-HEIGHT: November 2002 to current year.
GAGE - Satellite telemetry with water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 778.44 feet above North American Vertical Datum (NAVD) of 1988 (leveling by Global Positioning System equipment).

REMARKS -
For period 10/01/2014-09/30/2015: Continuous water temperature, specific conductance, and pH records are good; dissolved oxygen records are fair; turbidity records are poor.
For period 10/01/2015-09/30/2016: Continuous water temperature, specific conductance, and pH records are good; dissolved oxygen records are fair; turbidity records are poor.
For period 10/01/2016-09/30/2017:Continuous water temperature, specific conductance, and pH records are good; dissolved oxygen records are fair; turbidity records are poor.
For period 10/01/2017-09/30/2018:Continuous water temperature, specific conductance, and pH records are good; dissolved oxygen records are fair; turbidity records are poor.
For period 10/01/2018-09/30/2019:Continuous water temperature, specific conductance, and pH records are good; dissolved oxygen records are fair; turbidity records are poor.
Data for parameter code 63680 (turbidity) were collected using a probe with the following specifications: turbidity, water, monochrome near infra-red LED light, 780-900 nm, detection angle 90 +/-2.5 degrees, FNU (Formazin Nephelometric Units). Before October 1, 2004, turbidity data were published using parameter code 00076: turbidity, water, unfiltered, NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units). Water sample constituent analysis is by the U.S. Geological Survey, National Water Quality Laboratory (USGS-NWQL). Laboratory sediment analyses are by the U.S. Geological Survey, Iowa Water Science Center, Iowa Sediment Laboratory. Field determinations of discharge, gage height, microbiology, specific conductance, pH, water temperature, air temperature, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen are by the U.S. Geological Survey.
