    • Data tables supporting analysis of general water-quality conditions, long-term trends, and network analysis at selected sites within the Missouri Ambient Water-Quality Monitoring Network, water years 1993–2017

    Metadata Updated: November 21, 2025

    The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), collects data pertaining to the surface-water resources of Missouri. These data are collected as part of the Missouri Ambient Water-Quality Monitoring Network (AWQMN) and are stored and maintained by the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database. These data constitute a valuable source of reliable, impartial, and timely information for developing an improved understanding of the water resources of the State. Water-quality data collected between 1993 and 2017 were analyzed for long term trends and the network was investigated to identify data gaps or redundant data to assist MDNR on how to optimize the network in the future. This is a companion data release product to the Scientific Investigation Report: Richards, J.M., and Barr, M.N., 2021, General water-quality conditions, long-term trends, and network analysis at selected sites within the Ambient Water-Quality Monitoring Network in Missouri, water years 1993–2017: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2021–5079, 75 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215079. The following selected tables are included in this data release in compressed (.zip) format: AWQMN_EGRET_data.xlsx -- Data retrieved from the USGS National Water Information System database that was quality assured and conditioned for network analysis of the Missouri AWQMN AWQMN_R-QWTREND_data.xlsx -- Data retrieved from the USGS National Water Information System database that was quality assured and conditioned for analysis of flow-weighted trends for selected sites in the Missouri AWQMN AWQMN_R-QWTREND_outliers.xlsx -- Data flagged as outliers during analysis of flow-weighted trends for selected sites in the Missouri AWQMN AWQMN_R-QWTREND_outliers_quarterly.xlsx -- Data flagged as outliers during analysis of flow-weighted trends using a simulated quarterly sampling frequency dataset for selected sites in the Missouri AWQMN AWQMN_descriptive_statistics_WY1993-2017.xlsx -- Descriptive statistics for selected water-quality parameters at selected sites in the Missouri AWQMN
