7. Continuous Water-Quality Data
9. Discrete Water-Quality Samples
10. Quality Assurance and Data Archival To ensure a uniform water-quality dataset, the USGS trained the ECSU, NERR, and FWS in data collection and documentation techniques for the collection of continuous water-quality data and water-quality sampling.
The USGS periodically accompanied the project partners on site visits to provide assistance.
All of the hydrologic and water-quality data for the project is stored in the USGS National Water Information System database.
11. Currituck Project Website http://nc.water.usgs.gov/projects/currituck/
All water-quality data collected for the current project is available through this site with the associated streamflow data.
All streamflow data collected during the project is available through a request to our office or the NWIS-Web interface (daily values): http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nc/nwis/sw.
