CRBCZO -- Stream Water Chemistry, Streamflow / Discharge, Climate, Stage, Stream Water Temperatures -- USGS -- Chester County, PA -- (2007-2015)

The U.S. Geological Survey maintains 15 stations to measure the flow of Chester County streams. Streams are a critical component of our environment and economic infrastructure. They are critical to water availability for domestic, agricultural, and industrial use. They are the source of floods, which are among the Nation's most severe natural disasters, both in loss of life and in economic damage. They provide the habitat, spawning grounds, and avenues of movement for fish. Streams are a source of great recreational activity in terms of boating, fishing, and simple enjoyment of visiting and viewing the stream and its environs. Finally, streams are indicators of the condition of the landscape. They integrate effects from their entire watershed.

Surface-water information collected at these streamflow-measurement stations is used for surveillance, planning, design, flood warning, operation and management of dams, in water-related fields such as water supply, flood control, irrigation, bridge and culvert design, wildlife management, pollution abatement, flood-plain management, and water-resources development.

美国地质勘探局运营着15个监测站，以测量切斯特县溪流的流量。溪流作为我们环境与经济基础设施的关键组成部分，对国内、农业及工业用水的水资源供给至关重要。它们是洪水之源，而洪水作为我国最为严重的自然灾害之一，不仅造成了大量人员伤亡，亦带来了巨大的经济损失。溪流为鱼类提供了栖息地、繁殖地以及迁徙通道。在划船、垂钓以及简单欣赏溪流及其周边环境等方面，溪流是重要的休闲活动来源。最后，溪流的状况也是评价景观状况的重要指标，它们综合反映了整个流域的影响。在水面流量的监测站点收集的地面水信息，被用于监控、规划、设计、洪水预警、水库的运营与管理、与水资源相关的领域如供水、防洪、灌溉、桥梁和涵洞设计、野生动物管理、污染控制、洪水平原管理以及水资源开发等方面。
