WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD.--April to September 1976, April 1979 to September 1980, December 1985 to current year. For a complete listing of historical data available for this site, see http://waterdata.usgs.gov/co/nwis/inventory/?site_no=07109500

PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD.--

DISSOLVED OXYGEN: July 1979 to September 1980, August 1988 to current year.

pH: July 1979 to September 1980, September 1988 to current year.

SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: July 1979 to September 1980, December 1985 to current year.

WATER TEMPERATURE: July 1979 to September 1980, December 1985 to current year.

INSTRUMENTATION.--Water-quality monitor with satellite telemetry.

REMARKS.--Daily dissolved-oxygen records are poor. Daily pH records are fair except for Oct. 1, 8, which are poor. Daily specific-conductance records are good except for Feb. 7-10 and Mar. 5-25, which are fair. Daily water-temperature records are good. Daily data that are not published are either missing or of unacceptable quality. Daily mean pH records are available from the district office.
