Phase II in-stream sediment measurements in the Talakhaya watershed on Rota, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands from 2016-03-09 to 2017-05-11 (NCEI Accession 0166379)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 03:01 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 06, 2017 at 12:00 AM
The dataset includes TSS (mg/L), turbidity (NTU), stream level (ft), and precipitation (in) data collected at multiple stations across five streams and at four rain gauges during Phase II (2016-2017) of the Talakhaya stream monitoring project. Secondary water quality data was also collected at the same time that turbidity measurements were made including (pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature). Two spreadsheets with previous data collected by others (University of Guam) during Phase I of the project (2013-2014) is also included in the dataset in order to keep the complete set of data together. That dataset includes precipitation and stream level (same as Phase II) as well as a slightly different set of water quality parameters including, temperature, pH, pHmv, ORP, mS/cm, turbidity, DO, and TDS. Stream stage discharge/flow relationship calculations are also included in Phase I data.
