GROAT, Director For information on the water program in Tennessee write to: District Chief, Water Resources Division U.S. Geological Survey 640 Grassmere Park, Suite 100 Nashville, Tennessee 37211 2005 PREFACE This volume of the annual hydrologic data report of Tennessee 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 informa- tion needed by State, local, and Federal agencies, and the private sector for developing and man- aging our Nation’s land and water resources. This report is the culmination of a concerted effort by dedicated personnel of the U.S. Geo- logical Survey who collected, compiled, analyzed, verified, and organized the data, and who typed, edited, and assembled the report. In addition to the authors, who had primary responsibility for assuring that the information contained herein is accurate, complete, and adheres to Geologi- cal Survey policy and established guidelines, most of the data were collected, computed, and pro- cessed from the subdistrict offices. The following individuals supervised the collection, processing, and tabulation of the data: Terry D. Phillips, Knoxville Jerry W. Garrett, Memphis J. Tim Hamilton, Nashville The following individuals contributed to the collection, processing, and preparation of the data: M.W. Bennett C.F. Glover H.L. Shook D.E. Butner J.A. Kingsbury R. Thomas J.W.

ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) Water resources data for the 2004 water year for Tennessee consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground water. This report contains records for water discharge at 107 gaging stations; stage only for 1 gaging station, ele- vation and contents for 32 lakes reservoirs; water quality at 18 gaging stations and 17 wells; and water levels for 8 observation wells; and 1 precipitation station. Also included are data for 84 crest stage partial-record stations. Ad- ditional water data were collected at various stream sites not involved in the systematic data-collection program, and are published as miscellaneous measurements and analyses. These data represent the part of the National Water Data System operated by the US Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in Tennessee. 14. SUBJECT TERMS 15.
