USGS_gw_wq -- Water Quality for Ground-Water Sites from the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System
- Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: tabular digital data
- Online_Linkage: <http://ok.waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis>
- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This tabular file contains ground-water-quality information for well sites in the spatial layer 'USGS_gw_sites'. The information was collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in the upper Washita River basin in southwestern Oklahoma from 1943 to 2000 and was retrieved from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database in September 2005. The information in this tabular file can be related to the well sites using the attribute 'STAID' . The tabular file 'USGS_codes' contains parameter coding descriptions for the environmental data collected and descriptions of the analytical methods used.
- Purpose:
-
To provide ground-water-quality information to users working in the upper Washita River basin.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
The tabular data in this file can be related to the 'USGS_gw_sites' spatial layer using the attribute 'STAID'.
