#### Abstract

This is the basic data section of a report by the U.S. Geological Survey on 
the water resources of the Upper Colorado River Basin. This section contains 
tables of duration of water discharge at 176 stream-gaging sites, monthly and 
annual summaries of chemical quality and sediment data at sites of continuous 
record, results of chemical quality and sediment analyses at 
miscellaneous-sampling sites, data on the chemical quality and other 
characteristics of ground water, and isohyetal maps of normal seasonal and 
annual precipitation. Also included is an inventory of surface-water records of 
streamflow, chemical quality, and suspended sediment. Location of gaging 
stations, chemical-quality and sediment-sampling sites, and wells and springs, 
are shown on a map of the Upper Colorado River Basin.
