| Multiply | By | To obtain |
|---|---|---|
| meter (m) | 3.281 | foot (ft) |
| kilometer (km) | 0.6214 | mile (mi) |
| square kilometer (km2) | 0.3861 | square mile (mi2) |
| milliliter (mL) | 0.03381 | fluid ounce (oz) |
| liter (L) | 1.057 | quart (qt) |
| milligram per liter (mg/L) | 1 | part per million (ppm) |
| milligram (mg) | 0.00003527 | ounce, avoirdupois (oz) |
| microgram per liter (µg/L) | 1 | part per billion (ppb) |
| micrometer (µm) | 3.937 × 10–5 | inch (in.) |
Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) can 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 are given either in milligrams per liter (mg/L) or micrograms per liter (µg/L). One thousand micrograms per liter is equivalent to 1 milligram per liter. Milligrams per liter is equivalent to parts per million. Micrograms per liter is equivalent to parts per billion.
In this report, the term “elevation” refers to distance above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29).
Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27).
