Category | Measurement Type | Units | Data Types | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Quantity | Depth | Feet | Lake/Reservoir levels GW levels | GW levels are usually below measuring point accompanied by elevation of measuring point and elevation above ground of measuring point-could look at the parameters in USGS NWIS to spell out every last detail |
Quantity | Depth | Inches Millimeters | Precipitation Evapotranspiration | David Anderson will check with Julie Valdez on units they are using for ET |
Quantity | Area | Acres | Lake/Reservoirs | Consistent with court adjudication documents as well |
Quantity | Volume | Acre-Feet | Reservoir volume | accompanied by area-capacity table |
Quantity | Volume | volumetric moisture content | Soil moisture | |
Quantity | Rate | CFS | streamflow (instantaneous) | |
Quantity | Rate | mm/day | Evapotranspiration | |
Quantity | Rate | Ac-Ft/Year | Water use | Rights, diversions, withdrawals, consumptive use, return flows, discharges, point of diversions, transfers, … |
Quality | pH |
Standard Units (S.U.) | ||||
Quality | Temperature | deg C | ||
Quality | Dissolved Oxygen | mg/L Percentage (%) | ||
Quality | Specific Conductance | uS/ cm (microSiemens/centimeter) at degrees 25 C | ||
Quality | Conductance | uS/ cm | can be converted to specific conductance if you have temperature info | |
Quality | Turbidity | nTU Percentage (%) | DWStds will capture percentage of time turbidity is below the thresholds | |
Quality | Concentration | ppb (ug/l) ppm (mg/l) | Trace metals Major Ions | |
Quality | Concentration | binary (presence/absence) | Biological parameters | |
Quality | Concentration | Percentage (%) | ||
Quality | Concentration |
<variety of units> | Radionuclides | |||
Metadata | Biological/Habitat Parameters | Slope | Kris will send us a list of these biological parameters | |
Metadata | Biological/Habitat Parameters | Shade | ||
Metadata | Age - Dating | Carbon-14 | ||
Metadata | Location | UTM easting and Northing (UTM Zone 13, NAD83) | Latitude Longitude | |
Metadata | Well |
