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.
USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
01442500 BRODHEAD CREEK AT MINISINK HILLS, PA
LOCATION - Lat 40°59'55", long 75°08'35" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, Monroe County, PA, Hydrologic Unit 02040104, on left bank at end of township route 646 at Minisink Hills, 500 ft upstream from Marshall Creek, 0.8 mi upstream from mouth, and 3.0 mi southeast of East Stroudsburg.
DRAINAGE AREA - 259 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY - WSP 1232: 1951(P).
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - November 1950 to current year.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 301.25 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Prior to Aug. 19, 1955, water-stage recorder, and Aug. 23 to Nov. 24, 1955, non-recording gage at site about 1,300 ft upstream at datum 2.19 ft higher. Nov. 25, 1955, to July 24, 1956, non-recording gage at site 40 ft upstream at present datum. Prior to November 10, 2022, the datum of gage was reported as 301.84 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Satellite telemetry at station.
COOPERATION - Station established and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey. Funding for this station is provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Geological Survey.
REMARKS - Flows occasionally affected by backwater from the Delaware River. Peak gage height for period of record is from floodmark, at site about 1,300 ft upstream at datum 2.19 ft higher (previously published as 27.00 ft). Records are good except those for estimated discharge, which are poor.
WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - April 2002 to current year.
COOPERATION - Water-quality samples were collected as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Water-Quality Network (WQN) with cooperation from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
REMARKS - As of October 2013, results from discrete water quality samples collected at this site are available through the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System web interface on the "Water Quality for the Nation" webpage.
Analyses for pH, water temperature, specific conductance, and dissolved oxygen were performed on site. Water-quality sample analyses were performed at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection laboratory in Harrisburg, Pa. Occasionally, values for filtered parameters may exceed values for the corresponding unfiltered parameter. These results are within the limits of analytical precision and methods.
