The Water Resouces Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with State, Federal, and other local governmental agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water resources of Maine each year. These data, accumulated during the many water years, constitute a valuable data base for developing an improved understanding of the water resources of the State.
Water resources data for the 1992 water year for Maine consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; water levels of ground-water wells; and precipitation amounts at selected sites. This report contains discharge records for 49 gaging stations; stage records for 2 lakes; month-end contents for 17 lakes and reservoirs; water-quality data for 12 gaging stations; water levels for 31 ground-water wells; and daily precipitation totals at 1 site. Additional water data were collected at other sites, not part of the systematic data collection program, and are published as miscellaneous measurements.
