Surface Water Data

The surface-water system of the ACF River basin was stratified based on physiography and major land uses, and water-quality monitoring locations were then chosen to represent predominant land uses at various scales. The monitoring network reflects the nested study design, including fixed monitoring sites (integrator sites and indicator sites, a subset of which were intensive monitoring sites), adding a group of comparison sites, and finally a group of sample sites on large tributaries and mainstem rivers. Water samples were collected at frequencies varying from hourly to annually, depending on the intended purpose. Get more information about the ACF River basin surface water sampling network.

Note:To reduce the size of the pesticide tables, only those compounds with detections equal to or greater than the MRL for one or more sites within a group are shown. A complete list of constituent names and MRL's are available.
