ALASKA WATER INDEX

This index is a list of sites throughout Alaska (see map above) at which streamflow, lake-level, and water-quality data have been collected by the USGS.

This index does not contain the actual data; it lists types of data collected and dates of data collection for the sites. Two types of tables are available for each hydrologic sub region shown on the map:

Streamflow tables list the stream discharge and stream water-quality records.

Lake tables list the lake-level and lake water-quality records.
