Bacteria Water Quality Data Analysis and Interpretation, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
Long BA and Smith RA. 1995. Bacteria Water Quality Data Analysis and Interpretation, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Technical Report NPS/NRWRD/NRTR - 95/46 (NPS D169). National Park Service. Washington, DC
Although the water quality of Lake Powell is generally very good, recent concerns with bacterial contamination in areas of heavier recreational use have prompted monitoring. Two in-park laboratories are now certified by the Utah Department of Health to analyze samples, and information is maintained in a computer database. This report consists mainly of charts and tables, and Appendix B notes that three computer disks with seven compressed (ZIP) files contain digital copies of all the tables, figures, and other materials used to produce the report (not with text).
