Title:
DNR/MPCA Cooperative Stream Gaging Locations
Abstract:
MNDNR and MPCA Cooperative Stream Monitoring Locations extracted from KISTER'S Water Information Systems (WISKI) time series database. Data collected at these locations may include water quality, water quantity or climatology data collected by the MNDNR, MPCA, MDA, USGS and partners. The locations mirror the available data on the MNDNR's Cooperative Stream Gaging website: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters/csg/index.html
Purpose:
To provide locations and a summary of the associated data of stations apart of the Cooperative Stream Gaging Monitoring Network.
