Annual Water Data Reports

Annual Data Reports On-line

The USGS Massachusetts-Rhode Island Water Science Center Annual Water Data Report (Annual Data Report) contains a wide variety of streamflow, water-quality, and ground-water-level data and represents the culmination of thousands of hours each year to collect, compute, and publish this important hydrologic information.

Individual reports are listed below by water year. Because of certain limitations, only reports for water years 1998 and later are available on-line.
To obtain Annual Data Reports for water years 1997 and earlier, please consult How to Order Massachusetts-Rhode Island Publications web page.
Adobe Acrobat Reader® is needed to view some of reports and can be downloaded for free.

Beginning with Water Year 2006, the ADR is a national report only and the reference to a local report in the WDR series is discontinued.

Therefore, to obtain the information about a specific state, basin or site, please start your search on the Water-resources data for the United States Water Year 2006 page.
This page gives the folowing options for search:

Search by Site Number
Search by US State or US State and County
Search by area other than State, including Pacific Islands
Search by Hydrologic Unit

A map-based tool for locating hydrologic data is also available.
The Mapper allows users to geographically locate surface water, ground water, and climatological sites and view and download published water data for those sites.
