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.

WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - Water years 2000 to 2005; 2008 to current year.
PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD -
SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: July 2000 to August 2005; November 2008 to current year. WATER TEMPERATURE: July 2000 to August 2005; November 2008 to current year. TURBIDITY: July 2005 to August 2005.
SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: July 2000 to August 2005; November 2008 to current year. WATER TEMPERATURE: July 2000 to August 2005; November 2008 to current year. TURBIDITY: July 2005 to August 2005.
INSTRUMENTATION - Submersible transducer and data-collection platform July 2000 to August 2005, November 2008 to current year. Datum of gage is assumed and may be different between the two time periods. Water-quality monitor July 2000 to August 2005, November 2008 to current year. The platform and all equipment were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina on August 28, 2005. A new platform and equipment were installed November 20, 2008.
REMARKS - Specific conductance records good. Water temperature records excellent. Interruptions in the record were due to malfunctions of the instrument.
