ABSTRACT:

This dataset includes time series data collected at two sites during baseflow and storm event conditions in the Northwest Field Canal and six sites in stormwater outfalls that drain to the Northwest Field Canal, in Logan UT. Time series data includes gage height, pH, dissolved oxygen, water temperature, specific conductance, turbidity, precipitation, and derived discharge observations at the two sites within the canal. Additionally, water temperature, velocity, water depth, discharge, and precipitation observations are included that were made at the stormwater outfall sites. These data were collected to enable the development of surrogate relationships and high frequency estimates of phosphorus and total suspended solids concentrations within the Northwest Field Canal/Logan City water system. Methods used for deploying sensors, collecting data, and processing for quality control are described in the methods document contained within this resource.

ABSTRACT:

This resource includes water quality samples collected within the Northwest Field Canal, located in Logan, UT and from stormwater outfalls that drain to the canal. These data were collected to with the purpose of developing surrogate relationships between in situ parameters and total suspended solids (TSS) and to determine spatial loading patterns in the drainage. Samples were collected manually and via an ISCO 3700 automated sampler. These samples were then analyzed for TSS), total phosphorus (TP), and total dissolved phosphorus (TDP). Methods implemented for sample collection and analysis are described within the resource.
