Water-Year
Summary
instructions
and
information
- Water-Year Summary reports summarize a year of hydrologic data in a printer-friendly format.
- For water years 2014 onward, choose a water year and parameter and an on-demand Water-Year Summary report will be generated.
- For water years 2006 through 2013, choose a water year and an Annual Water Data Report will be provided.
- For water years 2005 and earlier, Annual Water Data Reports may be available in digital format.
- Not all sites have reports available for every water year.
USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
434034088252401 SCF W BR MILWAUKEE RIVER WATERWAY 1 NEAR BYRON, WI
LOCATION - Lat 43°40'33.8", long 88°25'24.1" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in SE 1/4 SE 1/4 sec.14, T.14 N., R.17 E., Fond Du Lac County, WI, Hydrologic Unit 04040003,
DRAINAGE AREA - 0.11 mi², 73.3 acres.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - Dec. 1, 2011 to Sep. 30, 2015.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Water levels are controlled by 2.5 ft H flume.
COOPERATION - In cooperation with the Sand County Foundation.
REMARKS - Records are good, except for estimated days which are poor. Note that discharge is the daily sum, in cubic feet.
CLIMATOLOGICAL RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - Nov. 30, 2011 to Sep. 30, 2015 (non-frozen precipitation).
INSTRUMENTATION - Tipping bucket rain gage with electronic datalogger.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum daily rainfall, 2.55 in., Apr. 13, 2014.
REMARKS - Precipitation.-- Data are recorded to the nearest minute in the datalogger. Rainfall estimated to be 0.00 on Nov. 29-30, Dec. 8-9, 13-14, Jan. 3, 15, 29, Feb. 3, and Mar. 10, 12 because recorded precipitation was interpreted as collector snowmelt. Collector snowmelt was removed from the record.
Remarks.--Records are good except for estimated days, which are fair. All unit values and daily values are stored in ADAPS.
WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - Refrigerated autosampler Nov. 2011 to Sep. 2015.
COOPERATION - In cooperation with the Sand County Foundation.
REMARKS - Chemical analyses by the Water and Environmental Analysis Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Samples with end dates/times are flow-composite samples collected by an automatic point sampler which represent the event-mean concentration for the specified runoff period. Samples with only start dates/times are discrete samples collected by the same sampler. The sample runoff volume is the total flow that occurs between the start and end time of each flow-composite sample. In most cases, the sample runoff volume is slightly less than the total storm runoff volume. Some runoff events were not sampled. An approximate storm load (in pounds) can be computed by multiplying the sample runoff volume (in cubic feet) by the constituent concentration (in mg/L) and a factor of 6.2428x10^-5.
