DATA DOWNLOADING

All of our data are available for you to download to your computer. Our downloadable files are formatted as tab-delimited ASCII spreadsheet files, which will allow you to directly import them into spreadsheet progams, such as Excel. When you choose a link below to download data, the data that appears on your browser screen will probably be jumbled. This is normal; just use your browser's "File -->> Save As" menu option to save the file to a text file on your computer. You can then import that file into a spreadsheet program. The first line of each file contains identifiers which describe each column of data. These identifiers are a single word, as defined below: Site - USGS downstream site number Date - Date of sampling Time - Time of sampling (24 hr time) GageHeight - Height of the river surface Discharge - Stream discharge at sampling time Turbidity - Turbidity, in NTU FecalColiform - Fecal coliform count, in colonies per 100 milliliters FecalRem - Remark for Fecal Coliform (-, K, E) E. coli - E. coli count, in colonies per 100 milliliters EColiRem - Remark for E. coli (-, K, E) Enterococci - Enterococci count, colonies per 100 milliliters EnterRem - Remark for Enterococci (-, K, E) (For the remark codes, 'K' means a non-ideal count and 'E' means estimated.) You can download data for these sampling sites: Chattahoochee River near Suwanee (Settles Bridge Road) Chattahoochee River near Atlanta (Johnsons Ferry Road) Chattahoochee River at Atlanta (Paces Ferry Bridge)
