NPSTORET - Water Quality Standards
National Park Service, Water Resources Division. 2026. NPSTORET - Water Quality Standards. National Park Service, Water Resources Division
NPSTORET includes the ability for each organization to define their own custom state or local water quality standards or adopt any of the seven available national standards (detailed in Appendix A) as desired. The criteria for the water quality standards can be simple or time and/or characteristic dependent. The organization's Stations are then assigned to these custom and adopted water quality standards using either the Metadata Template, ‘WQ Standards’ tab or Stations Template, 'WQ Standards' tab. The Water Quality Standards Analysis is run from the Reports & Statistics Template using either the ‘Statistics’ or ‘Google Earth’ tabs.
