A Geographical Information System Database for Environmental Contaminants in the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Basin
Entry ID:
usgs_brd_cerc_riogrande
Summary
Abstract:
The assessment of contaminant stressors on biota of the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo
resulted from an effort of the Biomonitoring for Environmental Status and Trends (BEST) program, to implement pilot projects to evaluate environmental contaminants and their effects on ecosystems. This study resulted in a database of approximately 2,600 concentration values that were georeferenced for use with Geographic ...  Geographic Coverage

Quality
Because the many studies compiled here were carried out by multiple
investigators, under different sets of conditions, at different times, in different laboratories, and under different techniques, the interpretation of the data and predictions of potential hazards to biota of the Rio Grande should be taken with caution. Some variation among the data ...
