Table Wq02: Water Quality Data for Selected Monitoring Stations in Current River Watershed
Table Wq02 (1 of 6). Water quality data for selected stations and parameters within the Current River Watershed (MDNR 2000c, USGS 2001b). Selection of state standards used for comparison of values at each site are based on the MDNR use designations corresponding to the section of stream sampled and include the following: I Protection of aquatic life, II Human Health Protection-Fish Consumption, IV Irrigation, V Livestock and Wildlife Watering, VI Whole-body-contact recreation, VII Groundwater. Station: 07064400 (Montauk Springs at Montauk, MO) Period: 1995-1999
