The Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Federal, State, and City agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water resources of Texas each water year. Such data, accumulated during many water years, constitute a valuable data base for developing an improved understanding of the water resources of the State. To make these data readily available to interested parties outside the Geological Survey, the data are published annually in three volumes of this report series entitled "Water Resources Data - Texas."
This report series includes records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams and canals; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs. Volume 2 contains records for water discharge at 112 gaging stations; stage only at 9 gaging station; stage and contents at 24 lakes and reservoirs; and water quality at 72 gaging stations. Also included are data for 39 partial-record stations. The data in this report represent that part of the National Water Data System collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in Texas.
