Natural Resource Inventory and Monitoring, Baseline Water Quality Inventory and Analysis

Natural Resource Inventory and Monitoring, Baseline Water Quality Inventory and Analysis.

This inventory documents and summarizes existing, readily-available digital water quality data collected in the vicinity of national parks. Many different public, private, and non-profit organizations across the country collect physical, chemical, and biological water quality data for a variety of purposes. The first step in this NPS Water Quality Data Inventory was to document and summarize all of the existing, readily-available, digital water quality data collected in the vicinity of parks. To accomplish this task, data retrievals were made from the primary national water quality databases: the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) STORET Data Warehouse and the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Water Information System. Hard-copy water quality data found in parks or in the NPS Water Resources Division (WRD) files were digitized and entered into STORET for inclusion in the report. When a park’s Baseline Water Quality Data Inventory and Analysis Report revealed an absence or paucity of data or only very old data for key park water bodies, the park was provided funding to collect the primary and secondary water quality characteristics necessary to construct an initial baseline, which is called a Level I Inventory.
