Water-Year Summary for Site 02336300

Click to hide state-specific text

The daily maximum and minimum water level values for groundwater wells after September 30, 2023 are no longer being displayed on NWISWeb. However, these values can be determined using the instantaneous values that are available through the Time-Series: Current/Historical Observations option in the available data dropdown box for the station.

USGS Water-Year Summary 2023
02336300 PEACHTREE CREEK AT ATLANTA, GA
LOCATION - Lat 33°49'13.1", long 84°24'27.5" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Fulton County, GA, Hydrologic Unit 03130001, on downstream side of bridge on Northside Drive, 0.4 miles downstream from Tanyard Branch, and 4.0 miles upstream from mouth.
DRAINAGE AREA - 86.8 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY - WDR GA-96-1: 1995 (P, daily discharge, daily stage and monthly runoff). WDR US-2009: 2009 (M).
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD -
DISCHARGE: June 1958 to current year.
GAGE-HEIGHT: October 1999 to current year.
GAGE - Satellite telemetry with a water-stage recorder and continuous water-quality monitor. Datum of gage is 764.13 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Prior to May 27, 1963, water-stage recorder located at site 1,000 feet downstream at same datum.
COOPERATION - Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division; City of Atlanta.
REMARKS - Gage-height records are generally good. Discharge records are generally fair except for estimated discharges, which are poor. Additional details on the accuracy of the records can be obtained by contacting the USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center at gs-w-ga_nwisweb_data_inquiries@usgs.gov.

Prior to October 1, 2004, turbidity data were published using parameter code 00076: turbidity, water, unfiltered, NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units). Data for parameter code 63680 (turbidity) were collected using a probe with the following specifications: turbidity, water, monochrome near infra-red LED light, 780-900 nm, detection angle 90 +/-2.5 degrees, FNU (Formazin Nephelometric Units). Field determinations of discharge, microbiology, gage height, specific conductance, pH, water temperature, turbidity, air temperature, and dissolved oxygen are by the U.S. Geological Survey.
