Water Data Report
CA-63-Water Quality
Prepared in cooperation with California Department of Water Resources, California Water Pollution Control Board, Monterey County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Bureau of Reclamation, United States Department of the Interior, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
By: Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
The quality-of-water investigations of the U.S. Geological Survey are concerned with the chemical and physical characteristics of surface and ground water supplies of the nation in conjunction with water usage and its availability. The basic records for the 1963 water year for quality of surface waters within the State of California are given in this report. For convenience and interest there are also records for a few water quality stations in bordering states. The data were collected and computed by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, under the direction of Eugene Brown, district chemist, Quality of Water Branch.
