Abstract

Water resources data for Iowa for the 2002 water year consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, and/or contents of lakes and reservoirs; ground water levels and water quality of ground-water wells. This report volume contains discharge records for 31 gaging stations; stage or contents for 3 lakes; water quality for 1 stream-gaging station, and sediment records for 2 stream-gaging stations. Also included are data for 33 crest-stage partial record stations and ground-water levels for 157 wells.
