USGS - Water Quality and Data Elements - The Methods and Data Comparability Board and The National Water-Quality Monitoring Council have prepared a list of what we believe to be the necessary or "core metadata" to allow comparability assessments. The list proposed is not a set of required information, rather, it is intended as a means to help data collectors more easily consider the most important water-quality data elements needed to assess data comparability.
