Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

For USGS-defined attributes:
Site_ID = An 8 to 14-digit downstream order number for surface-water sites is usually used for the Site ID. When downstream order is used, the first 8 to 14 positions of the field must contain digits. The remaining positions are blank. A Site ID containing a latitude-longitude and sequence number may be assigned to sites where there is difficulty in assigning a meaningful downstream order number, or where data are obtained intermittently. In this case, positions 1-6 are coded with latitude, 7-13 are coded with longitude, and 14-15 are coded with a sequence number. A 15-digit Site ID for a surface-water site most likely indicates a water-quality grab sample site, a surface-water site at which miscellaneous measurements were made, or a site with large open areas like a lake, reservoir, or bay.
Local_No = The local number for surface-water sites is the station name and location or local identifier. Example of a station name is North Canadian River near Harrah, OK.
