Basic hydrologic data collection
is a major part of the Wisconsin Water Science Center program.
Much of the data collection is done by telemetry
from field locations. Center personnel
collect the following types of data:
-
Stream discharge
at more than 250 sites
-
Water-quality
data at more than 100 streams, 90 wells,
and 70 lakes
-
Ground-water
levels at about 200 sites
-
Precipitation
quantity and quality
-
Stream sediment
characteristics
-
Biological
characteristics of streams
Water-quality sampling and analyses
are conducted for a wide range of constituents:
- Major inorganics
- Trace elements
- Dissolved gases
- Pesticides
- Isotopes
- PCB's and other synthetic compounds
- Biological indicators
- Nutrients
