Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows:

°F=(1.8×°C)+32

Specific conductance is given in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (µS/cm at 25 °C).

Concentrations of chemical constituents in water generally are given in milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is approximately equal to parts per million.

Turbidity is given in Formazin Nephelometric Units, or FNUs.

Datum

Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27).

Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29).
