ABSTRACT:

This report series for the 2005 water year for the state of Florida consists of records for continuous or daily discharge for 429 streams, periodic discharge for 9 streams, continuous or daily stage for 218 streams, periodic stage for 5 streams, peak stage and discharge 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, and quality-of-water for 211 surface-water sites and 208 wells.

This volume (Volume 4, Northwest Florida) contains records of continuous or daily discharge for 76 streams, periodic discharge for 2 streams, continuous or daily stage for 14 streams, periodic stage for 0 streams, peak stage and discharge for 20 streams, continuous or daily elevations for 1 lake, periodic elevations for 0 lakes, continuous ground-water levels for 2 wells, periodic ground-water levels for 0 wells, and quality-of-water for 3 surface-water sites and 0 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.
