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?【摘要】本托管表格包含指定流域监视（Watershed Watch）季的完整监测数据集，涵盖所有实测参数。 【概述】URI流域监视项目（URI Watershed Watch Program）为全州范围内的监测站点生成涵盖多类参数的高质量数据。该数据采用成熟方法采集，并经州认证实验室处理，可被罗德岛州环境管理部（Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management）用于评估本州水体状况，同时也可供市政当局、各类协会、咨询企业及居民使用，以更高效地管理本地水资源。 【实测参数】 1. 水体透明度（塞氏盘深度（Secchi depth）——适用于湖泊与池塘） 2. 叶绿素（Chlorophyll）：适用于湖泊、池塘及部分河流 3. 水深 4. 总磷与溶解性磷 5. 水温 6. 总氮、硝酸盐氮（Nitrate-nitrogen）与氨氮（Ammonium-nitrogen） 7. 溶解氧（Dissolved Oxygen，适用于深水区点位/溪流） 8. 氯化物（Chloride） 9. pH值（pH） 10. 粪大肠菌群（Fecal coliform）与肠球菌（enterococci bacteria） 11. 碱度（Alkalinity） 12. 盐度（Salinity，适用于河口点位） 【数据质量】URI流域监视项目采用全国性机构推荐并认可的流程与规范，以确保监测结果能够准确反映采样水体的实际状况。实验室人员与志愿者的检测结果会定期与已知标准品及质量控制样品进行比对。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出限。具体分析方法与检出限可按需索取。如需了解更多监测参数相关信息，请访问URI流域监视项目官网。【监测内容】
