Description
This document presents the results of surface-water-quality data retrievals for Big Bend National Park (BIBE) from five of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) national databases: (1) Storage and Retrieval (STORET) database management system; (2) River Reach File (RF3); (3) Industrial Facilities Discharge (IFD); (4) Drinking Water Supplies (DRINKS); and (5) Flow Gages (GAGES). This document is one product resulting from a cooperative contractual endeavor between the National Park Service’s Servicewide Inventory and Monitoring Program, the National Park Service’s Water Resources Division (WRD), and Horizon Systems Corporation to retrieve, format, and analyze water quality data for all units of the National Park System containing significant water resources. The primary goal of the project is to provide descriptive water quality information in a manner and format that is both consistent with the goals of the Servicewide Inventory and Monitoring Program and useable by park resource managers.
