Accesses EPA STORET results in the National Water Quality Monitoring Council's Water Quality Portal.
This no longer accesses STORET Rest Service (http://www3.epa.gov/storet/web_services.html/) for stream monitoring data in the STORET/WQX (Water Quality eXchange) database (Details about the soap-based web service at: http://cdx.epa.gov/WQXWeb/Services.asmx?WSDL) because this service has been deprecated.
Notes about "wq_test":
- A complete list of water quality tests accepted by the databases accessed by this service is available here: https://www.waterqualitydata.us/public_srsnames/
- STORET water quality test names (wq_test) should match the format of Parm Code<space>Characteristic Name<space>--<space>units (i.e. "00600 Nitrogen, mixed forms (NH3), (NH4), organic, (NO2) and (NO3) -- mg/l")
Notes about Data Sources:
- All Data sources are accessed through the csip-lib-water library
- STORET Data extracted from the Water Quality Data Portal (by the National Water Quality Monitoring Council) Web Services: https://www.waterqualitydata.us/webservices_documentation/
