Water resources data for the 1988 water year for Connecticut consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground-water wells. Specifically, it contains: (1) discharge records for 47 streamflow-gaging stations, and for 1 tidal volume streamflow station; (2) stage-only records for 4 tidal-gaging stations; (3) content records for 35 lakes and reservoirs; (4) water- quality records for 14 streamflow-gaging stations, for 24 ungaged stream sites, for 1 tidal-gaging station, for 4 lakes and reservoirs, for 2 harbors, for 3 precipitation stations, and for 220 wells; and (5) water-level records for 38 observation wells. Locations of these sites are shown on Figures 1 and 2. Additional water data were collected at various sites involved in 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 Connecticut.
