Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve Water Quality Monitoring Data in 1995

Water quality monitoring is conducted, for all 22 National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) sites, at two locations within or adjacent to the Reserve. These two locations monitor a reference non-impacted site (baseline condition) and a non-point source pollution site. The following parameters are measured at least every 30 minutes: Water temperature, conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen (percent saturation and concentration mg/L), pH, turbidity, and water depth. All water quality data loggers (YSI's) are deployed from a known depth from the bottom at each site. Data collection at the Elkhorn Slough, California NERR site began in 1995 and continues in subsequent years. See http://inlet.geol.sc.edu/cdmoweb/elk.html .
