Monitoring location 01453000 is associated with a Stream in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. Current conditions of Discharge, Gage height, Precipitation, and more are available. Water data back to 1902 are available online.
Records include flow of Monocacy Creek. Prior to October 1928, non-recording gage at New Street bridge 120 ft downstream at same datum. Oct. 1, 1928, to Sept. 30, 1962, water-stage recorder at site 4,250 ft downstream at datum 2.49 ft lower. Oct. 1, 1963, to Dec. 14, 1975, water-stage recorder at site 40 ft downstream at same datum. Some regulation at low flow stages from power operation station upstream. Francis E. Walter Dam will reduce normal peak flows. The 15-minute precipitation data for this station are temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. Time series of 1-hour or cumulative daily values will NOT be available for retrieval following the 120-day display period. Although the instrumentation is calibrated at least once a year, the temporary classification means that documented routine inspections and other quality assurance measures are not performed that would make the data acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general scientific or interpretive studies.
