Temperature is in Celcius (22C = 72F), TDS is Total Dissolved Solids, DO is
Dissolved Oxygen, Nitrate is NO3+NO2 as Nitrogen, Nitrite is NO2 as Nitrogen,
Phosphate is PO4, E. Coli (number of colonies per 100 mL) measured using Easy
Coliscan method. All values are reported in parts per million (mg/L), except
Turbidity (JTU's or meters). Turbidity measured in NTU in 2002 and in JTU or
meters in later years, NTU of 10 is crystal clear, at 50 there is haze or
"see-through milky." JTU is essentially centimeters of clarity, so 60+ or 100+
indicates crystal clear water. Secchi Disk is depth in meters (m). WQI is the
water quality index, a summary figure (100 is best possible).
