Water resources data for Alabama, water year 1988

The Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with State and Federal agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water resources of Alabama each water year. These data, accumulated during many water years, constitute a valuable data base for developing an improved understanding of the water resources of the State. To make these data readily available to interested parties outside the Geological Survey, the data are published annually in this report series entitled "Water Resources Data - Alabama."

Water resources data for Alabama, water year 1985

Water resources data for the 1985 water year for Alabama consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels in wells. This report includes records on both surface and ground water in the State. Specifically, it contains: (1) Discharge records for 86 streamflow-gaging stations, for 62 partial-record or miscellaneous streamflow stations, and for 4 crest-stage or partial-record streamflow stations; (2) stage and content records for 13 lakes and reservoirs and stage at 27 stations; (3) water-quality records for 22 streamflow-gaging stations, for 66 ungaged streamsites, and for 7 wells; and (4) water-level records for 62 observation wells. Discharge records for a few pertinent stations in bordering States are also included in this report.

Water resources data, Alabama, water year 1984

Water resources data for the 1984 water year consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; water levels and water quality of ground-water wells; and water quality of precipitation stations. This report contains records for water discharge at 85 gaging stations; stage at 23 gaging stations; stage and contents of 13 lakes and reservoirs; water quality at 31 gaging stations, 26 partial-record stations; water levels at 48 observation wells and water quality at 5 wells. Also included are data for 4 crest stage, 6 flood hydrograph partial-record stations, and 3 quality of precipitation stations. Location of these sites are shown on figures 4-8. Additional water data were collected at various sites, not involved in the systematic data-collection program, and are published as miscellaneous measurements and analyses. Discharge records for a few pertinent stations in bordering states are also included in this report. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in Alabama.

Water resources data, Alabama water year 1983

Water resources data for the 1983 water year consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground-water wells. This report contains records for water discharge at 84 gaging stations; stage only at 23 gaging stations; stage and contents of 12 lakes and reservoirs; water quality at 80 gaging stations, 55 partial-record stations; water levels at 53 observation wells and water quality at 48 wells. Also included are data for 5 crest stage and 6 flood hydrograph partial-record stations. Location of these sites are shown on figures 4-7. Additional water data were collected at various sites, not involved in the systematic data-collection program, and are published as miscellaneous measurements and analyses. Discharge records for a few pertinent stations in bordering states are also included in this report. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in Alabama.

Summary of U.S. Geological Survey investigations and hydrologic conditions in the Southwest Florida Water Management District for 1978

This report summarizes water-resources investigations in the Southwest Florida Water Management District performed by the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, for fiscal year 1978. The investigations are part of the Federal program of appraising the nation 's water resources. The cooperative program for fiscal year 1978 included 37 interpretive investigations. Abstracts of 30 reports released during 1978 and a bibliography of reports released since 1933 are included. The hydrologic setting of southwest Florida and discussions of surface-water, ground-water, and quality-of-water conditions are given. Hydrologic conditions in southwest Florida are described and illustrated by hydrographs of selected surface-water, ground-water and lake-stage data collection sites. In addition, summaries of water-use data and data on the regional observation monitor-well program are provided. (Kosco-USGS)

Summary of hydrologic data for Tampa Bypass Canal System, July 1974 to September 1976

The Tampa Bypass Canal is part of a flood-control project east of the city of Tampa under construction by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It will divert floodwater from the Hillsborough River at points upstream from Tampa through a canal system to McKay Bay. The U.S. Geological Survey began a hydrologic data program in 1974 to provide data needed to identify existing hydrologic conditions and to evaluate the effects of canal construction. A network of surface-water and ground-water sites was designed to monitor changes in nutrients, trace metals, major inorganic constituents, pesticides, and benthic invertebrates along the canal system; to monitor changes in trace elements, common constituents, nitrates, specific conductance, and chlorides in the Floridan aquifer; and to monitor changes in the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer. In 1974-75, the monitoring program consisted of drilling 12 monitor wells and initiation of the surface-water sampling program. In 1976, the program consisted of drilling five additional wells, continuation of the surface-water sampling, initiation of ground-water sampling program, and monitoring of discharge from springs. Water-quality data for nine surface-water sites in the basin were collected at each of the control structure sites, in the tidal portion of the canal, and at each of the major tributaries to the canal system. Fifteen ground-water sites were sampled annually to provide information on ground-water quality. Ten wells were sampled semiannually for dissolved chloride concentrations to provide information on the freshwater-saltwater interface. Ground-water levels were collected at 34 wells in the areas adjacent to the canal to monitor changes in the potentiometric surface in the Floridan aquifer. Discharge measurements from springs along the canal system were made in 1969-73 and 1976 to provide data on the quantity of ground water entering the canal. A daily discharge station was operated at structure S-160 to determine quantity of water flowing from the canal system into the bay.
