Urban Runoff Quality Information System (URQIS)

URQIS accesses a database of urban runoff quality data collected from urban areas in the North Island and South Island, with the extent of coverage between Whangarei and Invercargill, New Zealand. 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.

Purpose
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. 
Credit
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.
