'Water-quality sampling and streamflow measurement sites were selected with the assistance of NPS employees at Mount Rushmore. Six sites including five surface-water sites and the park's only publicsupply well were selected (table 1), and water-quality sampling began in January 2001. Samples also were collected during April, June, and July so that data would represent different hydrologic and climatic conditions. Water samples from selected sites were analyzed for a suite of physical, chemical, and biological constituents. In addition, field measurements of specific conductance, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and streamflow were made during each sampling visit.'
