Water-resources data for the 2002 water year for South Dakota consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; precipitation; and water levels in wells. This report contains discharge records for 127 streamflow-gaging stations; stage and contents records for 10 lakes and reservoirs, stage for 14 streams and 3 lakes; water-quality records for 6 streamflow-gaging stations, 2 daily sediment stations, 3 wells, 10 ungaged stream sites, 6 lakes, 1 sewage lagoon, and 1 precipitation site; water levels for 7 wells; daily precipitation records at 4 sites; and 74 partial-record crest-stage gage sites. Additional water data were collected at various sites, not part of the systematic data-collection program, and are published as miscellaneous measurements and analyses. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System operated by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in South Dakota.
