Supporting documents and datasets associated with implementation of the Northeast Temperate Network (NETN) Water Quality and Water Quantity (WQ) monitoring protocol. The goal of WQ monitoring is to document the status of NETN lakes, ponds, and streams. From May to October, NETN scientists measure stream discharge, stream and lake stage, water transparency, and in situ water quality. Additionally, water samples are routinely collected each season to measure potential nutrient enrichment. A long-term record of the physical, chemical, and nutrient conditions of freshwater resources provides NETN park managers with data to detect trends that could be related to global and regional climate change, acid deposition, and site-specific anthropogenic change.
