Abstract
Water-resources data for Colorado for the 2002 water year consist of
records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents,
and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; meteorological data; and water
levels and water quality of wells and springs. This report (Volumes 1
and 2) contains discharge records for 319 gaging stations, stage and contents
of 16 lakes and reservoirs, discharge measurements for 1 partial-record
low-flow station and 1 miscellaneous site, peak-flow information for 22
crest-stage partial-record stations; water quality for 118 gaging stations
and for 8 lakes and reservoirs, supplemental water quality for 183 gaged
sites; water quality for 65 miscellaneous sites and 14 observation wells;
water levels for 2 observation wells, and meteorological data for 57 sites.
Three pertinent stations operated by bordering States also are included
in this report. The records were collected and computed by the Water Resources
Division of the U.S. Geological Survey under the direction of W.F. Horak,
District Chief. These data represent that part of the National Water Data
System collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and
Federal agencies.
