Project Data
Data Dashboard
The dashboard below illustrates where data have been collected throughout the life of the project. The dashboard is interactive so you can explore different aspects of the dataset. For a more in depth view of the data click the button below to go to the full dashboard.
Water Quality Portal (WQP)
The WQP is the EPA regulated water quality data warehouse. The information and videos below guide you through the process of accessing data through this portal.
To access this dataset we ask that you fill out the form on the data request page. Button below. Once your request has been approved you will receive a link that will allow you to download the dataset on WQP as well as the raw “out of the field” version of the dataset we curate ourselves.
Important Resources
This project follows the guidelines set forth from the QAPP document, which was developed with federal partners, as well as some state agencies.
Volunteers with this project collect data in the field after completing an interactive online training. We supply them with sampling equipment and printed protocol booklets. Digital copies of those printed protocols can be found below.
