Summary

In 2013, the first of several Regional Stream Quality Assessments (RSQA) was done in the Midwest United States. The Midwest Stream Quality Assessment (MSQA) was a collaborative study by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA), the USGS Columbia Environmental Research Center, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) National Rivers and Streams Assessment (NRSA). One of the objectives of the RSQA, and thus the MSQA, is to characterize the relationships between water-quality stressors and stream ecology and to determine the relative effects of these stressors on aquatic biota within the streams (U.S. Geological Survey, 2012a). To meet this objective, a framework of fundamental geospatial [...]

Purpose

This dataset was created to spatially summarize a variety of physical and anthropogenic characteristics of the watersheds that drain to the sites sampled for the MSQA (Nakagaki and others, 2016). The watershed characteristics assist with the analysis and interpretation of surface-water and biota data collected for the MSQA study, and were also used as input to various models.
