These data were used to calculate instantaneous\nloads and yields of constituents in a report by the U.S. Geological Survey. Water-quality samples were collected by the PWSB either monthly or quarterly at fixed stations on 36 tributaries in the Scituate Reservoir drainage area. Water-quality\nsamples were collected following a strict sampling schedule so that water-quality samples would be representative of various weather conditions. Samples were analyzed at the PWSB water-quality laboratory at the P.J. Holton Water Purification Plant in\nScituate, Rhode Island. Water-quality properties and constituent concentrations were measured by using unfiltered water samples. These water-quality properties included pH, alkalinity, color, turbidity, and concentrations of chloride, nitrite,\nnitrate, orthophosphate, and bacteria (Escherichia coli [E. coli] and total coliform).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/F7FJ2FR5", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.59e4f23ee4b05fe04cd19176.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_59e4f23ee4b05fe04cd19176", "keyword": ["Chloride", "Cranston", "Foster", "Johnston", "Rhode Island", "Scituate", "Scituate Reservoir", "Sodium", "Turbidity", "USGS:59e4f23ee4b05fe04cd19176", "bacteria", "drinking water use", "nutrient content (water)", "surface water quality", "water pH", "water properties"], "modified": "2020-08-25T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-71.7523, 41.7462, -71.5653, 41.8684", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Water Quality data from the Providence Water Supply Board for tributary streams to the Scituate Reservoir, water year 2015"}
