This browser tool provides access to more than sixty thousand water quality sites, some
monitored as early as the 1950s. Some are groundwater sites with only one record, others are
river sites with thousands of samples. Links are available to pre-packaged PDF
graphs and data files listing the more common water quality constituents.
Files for displaying data in Google Earth
help you to see sites in relation to one another and to assess
the strengths and weaknesses of the sampling network.
Follow one of the water quality links below and then choose whether to view data in plain-text tables or
with Google Earth as a front end (for detailed help with Google Earth, download the
User Guide).
The Google Earth KMZ files are time-enabled: if a site is not visible, it may have starting and ending dates outside the date range set in the time slider at the top right of the Google Earth display (Google Earth version 4 and later). Move the slider and its limit bars to show sites active within a time window. Click on the small clock face (in Google Earth, not here!) for other options. 
These pages are a static overview
of the WMS database and may lag behind by a year or more.
