Box 1230 Iowa City, Iowa 52244 2002 Ill PREFACE This volume of the annual hydrologic data report of Iowa is one of a series of annual reports that document hydrologic data gathered from the U.S. Geological Survey's surface- and ground-water data-collection networks in each State, Puerto Rico, and the Trust Territories. These records of streamflow, ground-water levels, and quality of water provide the hydrologic information needed by local, State, and Federal agencies, and the private sector for developing and managing our Nation's land and water resources. This report is the culmination of a concerted effort by dedicated personnel of the U.S. Geological Survey who collected, compiled, analyzed, verified, and organized the data, and who typed, edited, and assembled the report. The authors had primary responsibility for assuring that the information contained herein is accurate, complete, and adheres to Geological Survey policy and established guidelines. Personnel in charge of the field units are: Joseph G. Gorman, Western Field Unit Robert D. Goodrich, Eastern Field Unit The data were collected, computed and processed by the following personnel: K.D Becher J.D. Eash J.F. Nania AJ.Berry E.E. Fischer J.A. Noe J.F. Cerveny J.A. Handel M.J.

ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) Water resources data for Iowa for the 2001 water year consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, and/or contents of lakes and reservoirs; ground water levels and water quality of ground-water wells. This report volume contains discharge records for 31 gaging stations; stage or contents for 3 lakes; water quality for 1 stream-gaging station, and sediment records for 2 stream-gaging stations. Also included are data for 34 crest-stage partial record stations and ground-water levels for 163 wells. 14. SUBJECT TERMS 15.
