Water year: In U.S. Geological Survey reports, a water year is the 12-month period from October 1 through September 30. The water year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; thus, the water year ending September 30, 2001, is called the “2001 water year”.
Climatic year: In U.S. Geological Survey reports, a climatic year is the 12-month period from April 1 through March 31. The climatic year is designated by the calendar year in which it begins; thus, the climatic year beginning April 1, 2001, is called the”2001 climatic year.”
