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.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - January 1898 to March 1990, September 1992 to current year. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1302. Records for January 1892 to December 1897, published in WSP 541, have been found to be unreliable therefore should not be used.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder with telemetry and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 548.47 ft above NAVD of 1988. Prior to May 22, 1970, at site just upstream from Macopin Intake Dam, at datum 34.38 ft higher (revised). May 22, 1970 to March 5, 1990, at site just upstream from Macopin Intake Dam, at datum 20.83 ft higher.
REMARKS - Records fair, except for discharges above 1,000 ft³/s and estimated discharges, which are poor. Flow regulated by Canistear, Oak Ridge, Clinton, and Charlotteburg Reservoirs, and Echo Lake. Water diverted at Charlotteburg Reservoir for municipal supply of city of Newark.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 6,100 ft³/s, Oct 10, 1903, gage height, 17.40 ft, site and datum then is use; minimum discharge, not determined.
