Abstract:
This dataset was compiled as part of the National Park Service's (NPS)
Baseline Water Quality Data Inventory and Analysis Project. The
objective of this project was to retrieve, format, and analyze water
quality data for all units of the National Park System with
significant water resources. The dataset contains water quality
measures for the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area (CVNRA) and
... was obtained from the United States Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) national Storage and Retrieval (STORET) water quality database.

The Water Quality Parameter Data file (19970040.db) is accompanied by
six related water resources files with descriptive information. All
of these files contain latitude and longitude information so they can
easily be imported into GIS.
Water Quality Station Locations (filename: 19970041.db): STORET header
information describing each station where water quality data were
collected.
Industrial Facility Discharge Locations (filename: 19970042.db):
industrial or municipal point source discharges located within the
park's study area.
Water Impoundment Locations (filename: 19970043.db) water impoundments
(dams) located within the park's study area.
Water Gage Locations (filename: 19970044.db): gages located within the
park's study area; most of the gages are USGS stream gages.
River Reach Data (filenames: 19970045.db; 19970046.db; 19970047.db):
all stream traces (1:100,000 scale) and attributes for reaches falling
within any USGS catalog unit that touches the park's study area. The
traces are geo-referenced in ASCII format. The attributes are in both
ASCII export and DBASEIII+ formats.
