Abstract
Water resources data for 2005 water year in Florida consists of continuous or daily discharge for 429 streams, periodic
discharge for 9 streams, continuous or daily stage for 218 streams, periodic stage for 5 stream, peak discharge
for 28 streams, and peak stage for 28 streams, continuous or daily elevations for 15 lakes, periodic elevations for 23
lakes, continuous ground-water levels for 401 wells, periodic ground-water levels for 1,098 wells, quality of water data
for 211 surface-water sites, and 208 wells.
The data for South Florida included continuous or daily discharge for 91 streams, continuous or daily stage for 62
streams, no peak stage discharge for streams, 1 continuous elevation for lake, continuous ground-water levels for
248 wells, periodic ground-water levels for 187 wells, water quality for 54 surface-water sites, and 121 wells.
These data represent the National Water Data System records collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating
local, State, and Federal agencies in Florida.
