Data Availability
All water chemistry data are available through the Water Quality Portal (WQP, https://www.waterqualitydata.us/), a cooperative service sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and the National Water Quality Monitoring Council. SWAS-VTSSS data, collected as part of the long-term monitoring program, are organized by watershed land ownership into three Project IDs; SHEN_UVA_PRIMARY, USFS_UVA_PRIMARY, and OTHR_UVA_PRIMARY. Additional data collected and analyzed by the SWAS-VTSSS program, but not associated with the long-term monitoring sites (e.g. one-time synoptic sampling as part of the FISH program) are also available through the WQP. Time series data, including hourly discharge, air and water temperature and conductivity are available through the NPS Aquarius Web Portal (AWP) https://irma.nps.gov/aqwebportal/. Sites and associated data are accessed using identifier prefix SHEN_SWAS_SITEID (where SITEIDs are PAIN, PINE, STAN, and WOR1).
