Water Resources Data Texas Water Year 2003 Volume 3. San Jacinto River Basin, Brazos River Basin, San Bernard
River Basin, and Intervening Coastal Basins
Water Data Report TX-03-3
By S.C. Gandara
Abstract: Water-resources data for the 2003 water year for Texas are presented in six volumes, and consist of records of
stage, discharge, and water quality of streams and canals; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground-water
wells. Volume 3 contains records for water discharge at 93 gaging stations; stage only at 8 gaging stations; stage and contents at 33 lakes and reservoirs; water quality at
23 gaging stations; and data for 35 partial-record stations comprised of 15 flood-hydrograph, 19 low-flow, and 1 miscellaneous stations. Also included are lists of
discontinued surfacewater discharge or stage-only stations and discontinued surface-water-quality stations. Additional water data were collected at various sites, not part
of the systematic data-collection program, and are published as miscellaneous measurements. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System operated by the
U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating Federal, State, and local agencies in Texas. Records for a few pertinent stations in the bordering States also are
included.

Choosing The Proper Volume: The 2003 water resources data were published in
six volumes. Volumes 1 through 5 focus on streamflow and water-quality data within
a specific basin or group of basins. Volume 6 contains all published ground-water
data. To assist you in downloading the proper volume, we have provided the
following resources:
Volumes 1 - 5 listing by station identification number
Volumes 1 - 5 listing by station name
