USGS 04092750 INDIANA HARBOR CANAL AT EAST CHICAGO, IN

PROVISIONAL DATA SUBJECT TO REVISION

Click to hidestation-specific text

This gaging station is maintained in cooperation with:

  • The Indiana Department of Environmental Management

The precipitation 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 to make the data acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general scientific or interpretive studies.
