PROVISIONAL DATA SUBJECT TO REVISION
 
 
  LOCATION.--Lat 42°01'29", long 75°07'13", Delaware County, Hydrologic Unit 02040102, on right bank 800 ft downstream from Baxter Brook, and 1,100 ft downstream from highway bridge at Harvard. Water-quality sampling site at discharge station.
DRAINAGE AREA.--458 mi2.
PERIOD OF RECORD.--October 1934 to June 1967, November 1977 to current year.
REVISED RECORDS.--WDR NY-82-1: Drainage area. WDR NY-84-1: 1978-81(M).
GAGE.--Water-stage recorder and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 1,007.41 ft above sea level. Prior to Aug. 12, 1958, water-stage recorder 1,100 ft upstream at datum 0.65 ft higher, and from Aug. 12, 1958, to June 30, 1967, water-stage recorder at site 200 ft downstream at same datum.
REMARKS.--Records good except those for estimated daily discharges, which are poor. Subsequent to September 1954, entire flow from 371 mi2 of drainage area controlled by Pepacton Reservoir (see Reservoirs in Delaware River Basin). Part of flow diverted for New York City municipal supply. Remainder of flow (except for conservation re- leases and spill) impounded for release during periods of low flow in the lower Delaware River Basin, as directed by the Delaware River Master. Satellite and telephone gage-height and temperature telemeter at station.
