Water Quality Data Elements
The Water Quality Data Elements User Guide is now available in PDF format to download and print. 
The Data Elements workgroup of the Methods and Data Comparability Board and the National Water-Quality Monitoring Council are preparing lists of what are believed to be the necessary or "core metadata" to allow comparability assessments. The proposed lists are not a set of required information but are recommended to help data collectors and data managers more effectively characterize their data and thereby facilitate and promote the use of those data by others. The Water Quality Data Elements User Guide was written to help facilitate the use of data elements by monitoring groups in their monitoring programs.
