The USGS just released new ways to access water quality and sample data in a recently expanded WQX data format.
Category: web-communication
Feature to maintain a list of monitoring locations you are interested in and to see the latest values of real-time data.
The USGS is expanding its implementation of the Water Quality Exchange (WQX) standard for delivering water quality and sample data.
USGS is improving the way that sample data are stored and served to the public. These changes will affect our back-end data management systems, web services, application programming interfaces (APIs), computational tools, and user interfaces for accessing data.
Feature used for better dashboard and device integration, real-time data access (less than 120 days old), and location metadata.
Feature to see a series of graphs of all current sensor data collected at a single location is available now.
Feature used to search and sift through data by locations and data types is coming soon.
Graphing data for 5 locations on a single graph now available on WDFN
Our Next Generation Monitoring Location Pages continue to receive updates based on our priorities and your feedback. Key features in this update include improved controls of the hydrograph and increasing the amount of at-a-glance information.
On October 13th 2022, we released a new water cycle diagram! This update re-envisions the water cycle, placing human activities at the forefront. We designed it to emphasize scientific accuracy, information design, and usability in educational settings. We hope that students of all ages better understand how humans affect where water is on Earth and how it moves, so that we can work towards using water more sustainably.
