Water Resources Data, West Virginia, Water Year 2003
By S.M. Ward, M.T. Rosier, and G.R. Crosby
Abstract
Water-resources data for the 2003 water year for West Virginia
consists of records of stream discharge, reservoir and ground-water levels, and
water quality of streams and ground-water wells. This report contains discharge
records for 70 streamflow-gaging stations; discharge records provided by
adjacent states for 8 streamflow-gaging stations; annual maximum discharge at 16
crest-stage partial-record stations; stage records for 6 detention reservoirs;
water-quality records for 2 stations; and water-level records for 8 observation
wells. Locations of streamflow, detention reservoir, and water-quality stations
are shown on figure 4. Locations of ground-water observation wells are shown on
figure 5. Additional water data were collected at various sites, not involved in
the systematic data-collection program, and are published as miscellaneous
sites. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System
collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal
agencies in West Virginia.
