Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 403447075331801 is associated with a Spring in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. Current conditions of Discharge, Gage height, Specific conductance, and more are available. Water data back to 1951 are available online.

At 5.6 ft stormwater influences and overland flows affect measured gage height based on field observations and comparison with QW records. Maintenance and drainage of the spring may also affect gage heights.
