Water Resources Data, Colorado, Water Year 1995--Volume 1. Missouri River Basin, Arkansas River Basin, and Rio Grande Basin

Water-resources data for Colorado for the 1995 water year consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of wells and springs. This report (Volumes 1 and 2) contains discharge records for 335 gaging stations, stage and contents of 26 lakes and reservoirs, 1 partial-record low-flow station, peak-flow information for 37 crest-stage partial-record stations; water quality for 134 gaging stations and for 9 lakes and reservoirs, supplemental water quality for 186 gaged sites; water quality for 29 miscellaneous sites, and 15 observation wells, and meteorological data for 30 sites. Nine 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 D.J. Lystrom, 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.

Water-quality data for streams in the Upper North Fork of the Gunnison River, Colorado

The upper reaches of the North Fork of the Gunnison River have been an area of active coal mining for many years. Recently, concerns about impacts of coal mining on surface-water quality have been raised. To answer these concerns, information on existing, or background, water quality must be known. To obtain this information for the study area, a program for the synoptic collection of water quality data was established in 1982. Water quality data were collected on continuously flowing streams in the upper North Fork of the Gunnison River basin in 1982 and 1983. Each site was sampled repetitively as changes occurred in streamflow and specific conductance. (USGS)

Selected trace-element data for streams in the southern Yampa River basin, northwestern Colorado

Increases in coal mining in northwestern Colorado have increased concerns about the impact of mining on the chemical quality of surface water. One area of particular concern is in the southern part of the Yampa River basin. To identify the possible changes in water quality produced by mining in this area, it is first necessary to determine the present water chemistry resulting from the geology, climate, and land use. Because few data were available, a program for the synoptic collection of water-quality data was developed in which sampling sites were selected to determine the surface-water chemistry. (USGS)
