Continuous water quality datasets
View continuous datasets collected by the Saline Lake Ecosystems Integrated Water Availability Assessment Water Quality Team.
During the 2024 and 2025 field seasons, the Water Quality Team collected 63 datasets at saline lakes across the Great Basin. Each dataset is a single parameter recorded continuously during the field season - April through October - or until the lake levels became too shallow to measure.
