The data are compiled by NIWA and start in 1990. The following water quality parameters are included in the database: Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Volatile Suspended Solids (VSS), Suspended Solids Concentration (SSC), Water Temperature, pH, Conductivity, Dissolved oxygen saturation,Dissolved oxygen concentration, Turbidity,Black disc, Total Zinc, Dissolved Zinc, Particulate Zinc, Total Copper, Dissolved Copper, Particulate Copper, Total Lead, Dissolved Lead, Particulate Lead, Total Aluminum, Dissolved Aluminum, Total Antimony, Dissolved Antimony, Dissolved Arsenic, Total Arsenic, Dissolved Cadmium, Total Cadmium, Dissolved Chromium, Total Chromium, Dissolved Iron, Total Iron, Dissolved Manganese, Total Manganese, Dissolved Mercury, Total Mercury, Dissolved Nickel, Total Nickel, Dissolved Silver, Total Silver, Dissolved Magnesium ,Total Magnesium, Dissolved Potassium, Total Potassium, Dissolved Sodium, Total Sodium, carbonaceous BOD5, Chemical oxygen demand, Oil and Grease, Hardness (as CaCO3), Alkalinity, Sulfate, Chloride, Fluoride, Enterococci, Escherichia coli, Faecal coliforms, Total nitrogen, Nitrite-N, Nitrate-N, Nitrate+nitrite-N (NOxN), Ammoniacal-N, Dissolved inorganic nitrogen, Total dissolved nitrogen, Total Kjeldahl nitrogen, Dissolved Kjeldahl nitrogen, Total phosphorus, Total dissolved phosphorus, Dissolved reactive phosphorus. URQIS is a new resource to provide public access to stormwater and urban stream quality data in a format that is useful to the stormwater and resource management community. The development of URQIS to date has been funded by NIWA’s Freshwater and Estuaries National Centre and Auckland Council’s Stormwater Team. The database includes data supplied by Councils, Transport Agencies, Research Institutes and Universities across New Zealand. onGoing pointOfContact NIWA Jennifer.Gadd@niwa.co.nz Jennifer Gadd Scientist vector environment inlandWaters Data are from multiple locations all over New Zealand and include urban areas between Whangarei and Invercargill. 166.3 178.7 -46.4131 -35.725 1990-01-01T18:02:00 stormwater urban runoff water quality urban streams FWWQ1206 FWWQ1305 FWWQ1402 ELF13216 theme NIWA Project Codes 2012-01-01 publication NIWA_ProjectCode Although the data supplied have been screened during compilation, some errors in the original datasets may remain.
