Data from "Convergent recovery across western U.S. watersheds: Long-term monitoring reveals convergent patterns of recovery from mining contamination across four western U.S. watersheds"

Supporting water chemistry data and locational information from the article "<b>Convergent recovery across western U.S. watersheds: Long-term monitoring reveals convergent patterns of recovery from mining contamination across four western U.S. watersheds</b>" published in <i>Freshwater Science</i>, https://doi.org/10.1086/714575. <br>The information consists of 8 files providing supporting information on:<br><br>1. (SI) Supplemental information published with the main article, consisting of 4 figures:<b> Fig. S1:</b> Representative photographs; <b>Fig S2:</b> Stream discharge plots; <b>Fig S3:</b> Contributions of different metals to the cumulative criterion units (CCU) at impacted sites; and <b>Fig. S4:</b> Long-term changes in total macroinvertebrate abundance.<br>2. "<b>SI-Western_Watersheds_Stream_Recovery.kml</b>" Provides coordinates of study sites, and allows viewing site locations overlain on imagey of the watersheds for environmental context. Viewable in programs such as QGIS and Google Earth. <br><br><b>3.
