WATSTORE: NATIONAL WATER DATA STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM

Citation:

Description:

The US Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Data Storage and Retrieval System (WATSTORE) consists of several files in which water data are grouped and stored by common characteristics and data-collection frequencies. Files are maintained for the storage of (1) surface-water, quality-of-water, and ground-water data measured daily or more frequently, (2) annual peak values and peaks above a base flow for streamflow stations, (3) chemical analyses for surface- and ground-water sites, (4) geologic and inventory data for ground- water sites, and (5) water use summary data . In addition, an index file station header file of sites for which data are stored in the system is maintained in WATSTORE. Metadata link: http://h2o.usgs.gov/nsdi/wais/water/watstore.html
