Table 2. Physical property, major-ion, trace-element, and isotopic data for ground water sampled from springs at Pinnacles National Monument, California, June 2006.
[gal/min, gallons per minute; mg/L, milligrams per liter; µS/cm, microsiemens per centimeter; µg/L, micrograms per liter; pCi/L, picocuries per liter; per mil, per thousand; E, the constituent concentration was below the reporting limit but was estimated at the NWQL or the flow rate was estimated in the field; M, the constituent was detected but not quantified; —, no data. All chemical concentrations are for dissolved constituents unless noted otherwise in the column heading; <, less than; >, greater than; QA, quality assurance sample; USGS, U.S. Geological Survey]
