Summary This hosted table contains the full monitoring dataset for the indicated Watershed Watch season, including all measured parameters. Overview The URI Watershed Watch Program produces quality data for a broad range of parameters for monitoring sites statewide. Produced using well established methods, and processed in state certified laboratories, this information is used by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management for assessing the State’s waters, as well as by municipal governments, associations, consulting firms and residents for more effective management of local resources. Measured Parameters Water Clarity (Secchi depth – lakes and ponds) Chlorophyll (lakes and ponds, some rivers) Water Depth Total and Dissolved Phosphorus Water Temperature Total, Nitrate-, and Ammonium- Nitrogen Dissolved Oxygen (deep sites/streams) Chloride pH Fecal coliform and enterococci bacteria Alkalinity Salinity (estuarine sites) Data Quality The URI Watershed Watch program incorporates procedures and protocols recommended and approved by national organizations to ensure that monitoring results accurately reflect the conditions of the sampled water bodies. Results from laboratory staff and volunteers are regularly checked against known standards and quality control samples. State-of-the-art research grade instruments are generally used, permitting high resolution and excellent detection limits. Specific methods of analyses and limits of detection are available upon request. Visit URI Watershed Watch Program page for more about the parameters monitored. What is monitored?数据集概述 本托管表格包含指定流域监测季的完整监测数据集，涵盖所有实测参数。 项目概述 URI流域监测计划（URI Watershed Watch Program）可为全州范围内的监测点位生成涵盖多类参数的高质量监测数据。该类数据采用成熟规范的方法采集，并经州认证实验室完成处理，可被罗德岛州环境管理部（Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management）用于评估该州水体状况，同时也可供市政当局、相关协会、咨询企业及居民使用，以更高效地开展本地水资源管理工作。 实测参数 水体透明度（塞氏盘深度——适用于湖泊与池塘） 叶绿素含量（适用于湖泊、池塘及部分河流） 水深 总磷与溶解性磷 水温 总氮、硝酸盐氮与氨氮 溶解氧（适用于深水点位/溪流） 氯化物 pH值 粪大肠菌群与肠球菌 碱度 盐度（适用于河口点位） 数据质量管控 URI流域监测计划采用全国性权威机构推荐并认可的流程与规范，确保监测结果能够准确反映采样水体的实际环境状况。实验室工作人员与志愿监测人员的检测结果，会定期与已知标准样品及质量控制样品开展比对核验。项目通常采用最先进的科研级仪器，可实现高分辨率监测与优异的检测限。具体分析方法与检测限可按需索取。如需了解更多监测参数详情，请访问URI流域监测计划官方页面。监测内容为何？
