#
# Water-quality sites in Delaware 
#
# This file contains locational information for nontidal sampling
# sites where major forms of nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus), sediment,
# major ion and organic carbon concentrations, dissolved oxygen, selected
# field parameters, and selected biological data were sampled.
# The selection of water-quality data from nontidal sites for inclusion
# in the database was based on the following minimum criteria (Langland and
# others, 1995):
#
#     - Nutrient- and sediment-concentration data collected between 
#       October 1, 1971, through December 31, 1996.
#
#     - A minimum of 12 nutrient- and sediment-concentration samples
#       representing fall, winter, spring, and summer conditions 
#       collected throughout any consecutive 3-year time span.
#
#     - Nutrient- and sediment-concentration data available in digital format.
