Aquatic Biological Monitoring Sampling Locations: Beginning 1980

The Division of Water Stream Biomonitoring Unit (SBU) dataset contains the point sampling locations at which benthic macroinvertebrates, field chemistry, and at some locations, sediment, fish or diatoms have been collected as part of the Rotating Integrated Basin Studies (RIBS) program, Rapid Biological Assessments (RAS), or special studies. The data collected are used for water quality assessment (input to the Waterbody Inventory, completion of the 305(b) report and 303(d) list of impaired Waters) and for track-down of water quality problems. The data set is maintained by the Division of Water, Bureau of Water Assessment and Management, Stream Biomonitoring Unit.

水生生物监测单元（SBU）的划分数据集包含了作为旋转综合流域研究（RIBS）计划、快速生物评估（RAS）或特定研究的一部分，在特定采样点收集的底栖大型无脊椎动物、现场化学成分，以及在某些地点收集的沉积物、鱼类或硅藻的位置信息。收集的数据用于水质评估（作为水体清单的输入、完成305(b)报告和303(d)受污染水域清单的编制）以及追踪水质问题。该数据集由水资源局水质评估与管理处的水生生物监测单元维护。
