Surface-water synoptic sampling, August - September 1995

This dataset is for a set of surface-water samples collected from late August to mid-September 1995. Thirty-five surface-water samples were collected and analyzed for nutrients, major ions, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The following physical properties were measured in these samples: pH, water temperature, specific conductance, and dissolved oxygen. This dataset is included with the ground-water datasets because the study was done at about the same time as the September 1995 ground-water synoptic sampling, and it includes many of the same sites. Therefore, these two datasets may be useful for analytical comparisons.
