Water Resources Data, Oakland County, Michigan 2001-2004
Abstract
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with Oakland County, the Huron-Clinton Metropark Authority, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), and the Rouge Program Office, collected streamflow, water-quality, and ground-water-level data in watersheds across Oakland County during water years 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004. Water years begin October 1 and end September 30. This report presents water resources data used to produce a series of interpretive reports on the quantity and quality of water in Oakland County for Oakland County, Michigan. Some of these data have been published elsewhere, but are provided here in one report. This report has two main sections. The first section provides an overview of the methods used to collect the various types of data. The second section is a series of data tables containing ground-water-level data, synoptically measured stream-water-quality data, synoptically measured lake-water-quality data, and the results of a macroinvertebrate and habitat assessment. Data collection activities in Oakland County during water years 2001-2004 can be divided into two general classes: routine monitoring and synoptic water-quality measurement. Routine monitoring activities were carried out in conjunction with ongoing Federal and State monitoring programs, using methods appropriate to those programs. Surface-water monitoring data are available in the USGS Michigan District Annual Data Report (Blumer and others, 2002; 2003; 2004) from the appropriate year. Ground-water monitoring data are provided in this volume. More detailed discussion of monitoring protocols can also be found in the Annual Data Reports and in Wagner and others (2000).
