USGS_lake_wq -- Water Quality for Lake 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 environmental data collected from lakes sites in the spatial layer 'USGS_lake_sites'. The environmental data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in the upper Washita River basin in southwestern Oklahoma from 1960 to 1992 and were retrieved from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database in September 2005. Each measured value in this file has an attribute 'STAID' that relates to a site in the file 'USGS_lake_sites'.
Purpose:
To provide site and environmental data to users working in the upper Washita River basin.
Supplemental_Information:
The tabular file 'USGS_codes' contains parameter coding descriptions for the environmental data collected and descriptions of the analytical methods used.
