Water Quality Monitor Network In Ohio
Stream water-quality characteristics provide scientists and water managers with a better understanding of the effects of natural and anthropogenic (human) activities on streams and ecosystems. The USGS operates a network of near-real-time water-quality monitoring stations that provide data for temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity of surface water; the data are collected in 15- to 60-minute increments and typically are transmitted to the Web every hour via satellite. These data are needed for decision making regarding drinking water, water treatment, regulatory programs, recreation, healthy ecosystems, and public safety. Data are stored in the National Water Information System (NWIS).
