iii PREFACE This volume of the annual hydrologic data report of Massachusetts and Rhode Island 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 State, local, and Federal agencies, and the private sector for developing and managing our Nation’s land and water resources. Hydrologic data for Massachusetts and Rhode Island are contained in one volume. 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. In addition to the authors, who had primary responsibility for assuring that the information contained herein is accurate, complete, and adheres to Geological Survey policy and established guidelines, the following individuals contributed significantly to the collection, processing, and tabulation of the data: Kimberly W. Campo Linda Y. Comeau Timothy R. Driskell Charles R. Leighton Domenic Murino, Jr. Lansen R. Ramsbey Britt O. Stock Joan S. Whitley Joseph F. Whitley Dennis J. Ventetuolo Joseph L. Zanca Anne M. Weaver was responsible for the word processing and publishing phases of the report, Mark V. Bonito prepared the illustrations, and Matthew G. Cooke provided the editorial review. This report was prepared in cooperation with the States of Massachusetts and Rhode Island and with other agencies under the general supervision of Wayne H. Sonntag, Massachusetts–Rhode Island District Chief, and James B. Campbell, Subdistrict Chief, Rhode Island Office.

ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) Water resources data for the 2001 water year for Massachusetts and Rhode Island consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels of ground-water wells. This report contains discharge records for 93 gaging stations, stage records at 1 gaging station, monthend contents of 4 lakes and reservoirs, water quality for 31 gaging stations, water levels for 139 observation wells, ground-water quality for 24 water-supply wells, and stage records for 1 pond. Miscellaneous hydrologic data were collected at various sites that were not a part of the systematic data-collection program and are published as miscellaneous discharge measurements and miscellaneous surface-water-quality data. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System operated by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. 14.
