Description
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides spatial water-quality data collected from Indian Creek in Johnson County, Kansas, on May 23, 2013, July 23, 2014, July 30, 2015, and August 26, 2015. Continuous water-quality monitors were used to measure water temperature, specific conductance, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, nitrate, and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM) at 30-second intervals along a 13.3-kilometer reach of Indian Creek. This data release was produced in compliance with the federal open-data requirements as a way to make scientific products associated with USGS research efforts and publications available to the public. This dataset includes all continuously (30-second intervals) measured spatial data collected as part of a study to describe the spatiotemporal variability of nutrients in Indian Creek.
