Overview Metadata of Water-Quality Field Blank Data, Replicate Sample Data, Discharge Data, and Dissolved Solids Data
Description
Water quality replicate sample data and field blank data was collected at the Colorado River above Imperial Dam, Colorado River below Cooper Wasteway, Yuma Main Drain, and 242 Lateral during 2017 and 2018. Instantaneous discharge data was collected at the Cooper Wasteway, Yuma Main Drain, and 242 Lateral from January 2017 to March 2019. Instantaneous discharge readings were recorded at a fixed interval of 5 minutes. Mean daily discharge data was collected at the Colorado River above Imperial Dam, Cooper Wasteway, Yuma Main Drain, and 242 Lateral from January 2017 to March 2019. Instantaneous discharge and mean daily discharge data was provided to the USGS by the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC). Discrete water-quality samples were collected at the Colorado River above Imperial Dam, Colorado River below Cooper Wasteway, Yuma Main Drain, and 242 Lateral during 2017, 2018, through March 2019 and values were used to compute dissolved solids concentrations using BOR's method.
