| Data collection info | Temperature measurements are taken in-stream. Water samples are collected, and analyzed in batches on the dates noted as "Analysis" in the "Remarks" column. Instruments used are calibrated as per manufacturer instructions and standards. |
| Data processing | The Water Hub has performed a preliminary QA/QC protocol on this data but the individual user must still confirm the accuracy of the data and whether it will be appropriate for their purpose. |
