Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 03280800 is associated with a Lake, Reservoir, Impoundment in Perry County, Kentucky. Current conditions of Gage height, Lake or reservoir water surface elevation above NGVD 1929, and Precipitation are available. Water data back to 2014 are available online.

The lake elevation data for this station are temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. The instrumentation is operated and calibrated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The temporary classification means that documented routine inspections and other quality assurance measures are not performed by USGS staff and therefore do not make the data acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general scientific or interpretive studies.
