Water resources data, Pennsylvania water year 1982. Volume 1: Delaware River basin

Water resources data for the 1982 water year for Pennsylvania consist of records of discharge and water quality of streams; elevation and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and elevation of tides; and water levels of ground-water wells. This volume contains records for water discharge at 66 gaging stations; elevation and contents at 11 lakes and reservoirs; elevation of tides at 1 gaging station; water quality at 33 gaging stations; and water levels at 16 observation wells. Also included are data for 34 crest-stage, 80 low-flow, and 43 water-quality partial-record stations. Locations of these sites are shown on figures 6 through 9. Additional water data were collected at various sites not involved in the systematic data-collection program and are published as miscellaneous measurements and analyses. These data together with the data in Volume 2 and 3 represent that part of the National Water Data System operated by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State, local and Federal agencies in Pennsylvania.

Map showing flood of June 1972 resulting from tropical storm Agnes, West Branch Susquehanna River and Bald Eagle Creek at Lock Haven, Pennsylvania

In June 1972, tropical storm Agnes caused severe flooding in Pennsylvania and southern New York. The floods on many major streams were the highest known since the river valleys were settled. Maximum discharges were as much as twice the discharge of a 50-year flood. In central Pennsylvania, large areas in Lock Haven, Mill Hall, Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Pittston, Harrisburg, and in many smaller communities were inundated to depths of several feet. The extent of flooding shown on the map was delineated by the U.S. Geological Survey from field surveys made soon after the flood.
