About this Dataset

Heartland Network 2005-2023 Water Quality Data From The HTLN WQ Project As Of 2023-12-07

This data package was created 2024-10-22 06:42:52 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data.

Data contained in the Heartland Network NPSTORET back-end file (HTLN_NPSTORET_BE_20231206_1438_20231207_1143.ACCDB) were filtered to include:
Organization:

HTLN: Heartland I&M Network and Prairie Cluster Prototype
Station:
Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results
Value Status:
Accepted or Certified (exported as Final) or Final

The data package is organized into five data tables:

Projects.csv - describes the purpose and background of the monitoring efforts
Locations.csv - documents the attributes of the monitoring locations/stations
Results.csv - contains the field measurements, observations, and/or lab analyses for each sample/event/data grouping
HUC.csv - enumerates the domain of allowed values for 8-digit and 12-digit hydrologic unit codes utilized by the Locations datatable
Characteristics.csv - enumerates the domain of characteristics available in NPSTORET to identify what was sampled, measured or observed in Results

Period of record for filtered data is 2005-10-27 to 2023-11-03. This data package is a snapshot in time of one National Park Service project. The most current data for this project, which may be more or less extensive than that in this data package, can be found on the Water Quality Portal at:
