How to cite data found on the Water Quality of San Francisco Bay Website
We are excited that you are using our data!
If you intend to include any of this data in a publication, report, thesis,
etc... we request an email
letting us know. It helps us to document that the data are being used and
keeps this website going. Thank you.
1969 through 1998 Water quality and nutrient
data should be cited with the published USGS Open-File data reports listed
below. If you are using numerous years of data, we suggest citing the website
URL (http://sfbay.wr.usgs.gov/access/wqdata).
Data collected since 1999 can only be cited using the
website URL (http://sfbay.wr.usgs.gov/access/wqdata). Permission is necessary
for use of these data in a publication.
Delta outflow data were obtained from the Interagency Ecological Program DAYFLOW site.
