Water-Quality and Hydrologic Data


The water-quality and hydrologic data in appendixes 1–9 are available as Microsoft^© Excel 2007 (.xlsx) files at https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/603/.


Discrete Water-Quality Data


Four different groups of constituents were measured in the discrete samples: (1) pesticides (table 1), (2) pesticide transformation products (table 2), (3) nutrients (table 3), and (4) inorganic and field parameters including major ions, field parameters, organic carbon, and physical parameters (table 4). Discrete water-quality data are presented in electronic format in appendix 1. Quality assurance data for the discrete water-quality data samples are presented in electronic format in appendix 2.


Continuous Hydrologic and Water-Quality Data


The continuous-record data parameters collected varied by study unit and environmental compartment (table 5). Continuous data parameters available for sites in a particular environmental compartment are listed in table 6. Continuous record data are presented in electronic format in appendixes 3–9. Each appendix contains continuous data collected for an individual study area. Continuous data in each Microsoft^© Excel file are divided into multiple worksheets by the environmental compartment in which the data were collected.
