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 Feet/year | Evapotranspiration | ||
Quantity | Rate | Watts per square meter | Potential 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 picocuries per Liter (pCi/L) | Radionuclides | |
Quality | Concentration | million fibers per Liter (MFL) | Asbestos | ||
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 Status | Categorical Information | Permitted, active, capped, plugged, etc. | ||
