WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: Dec 2011 to current year. pH: Dec 2011 to Dec 2013. WATER TEMPERATURE: Dec 2011 to current year. DISSOLVED OXYGEN: Dec 2011 to Dec 2013. TURBIDITY: Dec 2011 to current year.

REMARKS -

Interruptions or periods of missing record may be due to instrument failure, ice conditions, no flow conditions, or data corrections exceeding allowable criteria, which were deleted.

SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: For Water Year 2021, record is rated excellent, except for the following periods: Oct 25-28, Jan 31 - Feb 1, May 9-24, Aug 26-27, rated good.

WATER TEMPERATURE: For Water Year 2021, record is rated excellent except for the following period: Nov 1-2.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN: For Water Year 2021, record is rated excellent except for the following periods: Aug 18-24, rated good; Aug 25-27, rated fair; Jul 7, Aug 29, Nov 1-2, rated poor.

TURBIDITY: For Water Year 2021, record is rated excellent, except for the following periods: Dec 1 - Jan 29, Mar 31, May 12-14, 19, Jul 2, rated good; Oct 5, Jan 30, May 16, 20-21, Jul 3-4, rated fair.

As of October 26, 2015, turbidity data collected using YSI EXO2 sensors (previously collected using YSI 6136 6-series sensors). Note that extreme values recorded using YSI EXO2 sensors may exceed those previously recorded using YSI 6136 sensors. Manufacturer specifications of range and accuracy for both sensor models are as follows: YSI 6136: 0 to 1000 FNU, ±2% of the reading or 0.3 NTU (whichever is greater). YSI EXO2: 0 to 999 FNU: 0.3 FNU or ±2% of reading (whichever is greater); 1000 to 4000 FNU: ±5% of reading.
