National Park Service. 1994. Baseline Water Quality Data Inventory and Analysis, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. NPS/NRWRD/NRTR-94/33. National Park Service, Water Resources Division. Fort Collins, CO
Water quality data for Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Various federal databases were searched for water quality data, and the results compiled. The purposes of the report are to inventory existing park water quality data, establish baseline water quality at the park, identify potential water quality problems, and establish a park water quality database. This document provides: (1) a complete inventory of all retrieved water quality parameter data, water quality stations, and the entities responsible for data collection; (2) descriptive statistics and appropriate graphical plots of water quality data characterizing period of record, annual, seasonal central tendencies and trends; (3) a comparison of the park's water quality data to relevant EPA and WRD water quality screening criteria; and (4) an Inventory Data Evaluation and Analysis (IDEA) to determine what Servicewide Inventory and Monitoring Program "Level I" water quality parameters have been measured within the study area. Accompanying the report are disks containing digital copies of all data used in the report, as well as all components of the report (tables, figures, etc.).
