Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 01460440 is associated with a Canal in Mercer County, New Jersey. Current conditions of Discharge, Stream water level elevation above NAVD 1988, and Temperature are available. Water data back to 1975 are available online.

The water temperature data for this station are temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. Although the instrumentation is calibrated at least once/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.
