Mason Campus Water Quality Data (Fall 24- Spring 25)

This dataset contains water quality measurements collected from various stations (FFX 2, FFX 4, FFX 7, FFX 8, FFX 9, FFX 10, FFX 12, FFX 13, FFX 14) across the George Mason University campus in Fairfax, Virginia, between July 2024 and April 2025. Parameters measured include water temperature (°C), turbidity (NTU), conductivity (µS/cm), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO, mg/L), total dissolved solids (TDS, mg/L), and salinity. Sampling occurred approximately monthly, with some gaps or limitations due to low water levels (e.g., FFX 2 on March 11, 2025). Seasonal trends are observable across the dataset, with colder months showing lower temperatures and higher dissolved oxygen concentrations. Some readings are missing in spring 2025 for TDS and salinity due to incomplete sampling. The data capture spatial and temporal variability in water quality conditions across campus ponds and streams.
