Tucker D. 2024. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Curecanti National Recreation Area 1959-2024 Water Quality Data from the BLCA_CURE_WQ Project as of 2024-01-19. National Park Service. Fort Collins CO https://doi.org/10.57830/2303156
This data package was created 2024-04-03 16:31:54 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data. The data derive from three sources: (1) samples collected by the park and analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality Lab that aren’t in the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS); (2) field measurements and observations or lab analyses conducted by park staff that aren’t in NWIS; and (3) NWIS data collected by the USGS that aren’t part of the monitoring program at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Curecanti National Recreation Area. Data contained in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Curecanti National Recreation Area NPSTORET back-end file (BLCACURE_NPSTORET_BE.accdb) were filtered to include: Organization: - BLCACURE: Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP and Curecanti NRA Station: - Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results Value Status: - Accepted or Certified (exported as Final) or Final Excluded 9670 results because the parameter is not in WQX/EQuIS. The data package is organized into five data tables: - Projects.csv - describes the purpose and background of the monitoring efforts - Locations.csv - documents the attributes of the monitoring locations/stations - Results.csv - contains the field measurements, observations, and/or lab analyses for each sample/event/data grouping - HUC12.csv - enumerates the domain of allowed values for 12-digit hydrologic unit codes utilized by the Locations datatable - Taxon.csv - enumerates the domain of taxa available in NPSTORET to identify the organism sampled for Results Period of record for filtered data is 1959-06-16 to 2024-01-19. This data package is a snapshot in time of one National Park Service project. The most current data for this project, which may be more or less extensive than that in this data package, can be found on the Water Quality Portal at: https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=BLCA_CURE_WQ
