ABSTRACT

The Maine Water Science Center of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with State, Federal,and other local governmental agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water resources of Maine each year. These data, accumulated during the many water years, constitute a valuable data base for developing an improved understanding of the water resources of the State.

Water-resources data for the 2005 water year for Maine consists of records of stage, discharge, ground water levels, water quality of streams and ground-water wells, precipitation quantity, and snow quantity. This report contains discharge records for: 6 gage-height stations, 64 discharge gaging stations, stream water-quality data for 9 stations, water level for 23 ground-water wells, water-quality data for 20 ground-water wells, precipitation quantity data for 16 stations, and snow quantity data for 74 stations. Additional water data were collected at other sites, not part of the systematic data-collection program, and are published as special study and miscellaneous record sections.
