Description

The Great Lakes Basin Integrated Nutrient Dataset compiles and standardizes phosphorus, nitrogen, and suspended solids data collected between the 2000-2019 water years from multiple Canadian and American sources around the Great Lakes. Ultimately, the goal is to enable regional nutrient data analysis within the Great Lakes Basin. This data is not directly used in the Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance Division tributary load calculations. Data processing steps include standardizing data column and nutrient names, date-time conversion to Universal Time Coordinates, normalizing concentration units to milligram per liter, and reporting all phosphorus and nitrogen compounds 'as phosphorus' or 'as nitrogen'. Data sources include the Environment and Climate Change Canada National Long-term Water Quality Monitoring Data (WQMS), the Provincial (Stream) Water Quality Monitoring Network (PWQMN) of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) water quality data, and Heidelberg University’s National Center for Water Quality Research (NCWQR) Tributary Loading Program.
