This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides continuously measured water-quality data collected from four Indian Creek sites in Johnson County, Kansas during July 22-25, 2014 and August 21-27, 2015. Water-quality monitors were used to measure water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, turbidity, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, and nitrate at fifteen-minute intervals. This data release was produced in compliance with the federal open-data requirements as a way to make scientific products associated with USGS research efforts and publications available to the public. This dataset includes all continuously-measured data collected at short-term fixed site locations as part of a study to describe the spatiotemporal variability of nutrients in Indian Creek.

Spatiotemporal variability of inorganic nutrients during wastewater effluent dominated streamflow conditions in Indian Creek, Johnson County, Kansas, 2012–15
Nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, are a leading cause of water-quality impairment in Kansas and the Nation. Indian Creek is one of the most urban drainage basins in Johnson County, Kansas, and environmental and biological conditions are affected by contaminants from point and other urban sources.
