Summary

This dataset comprises water quality results from monitoring sites on major tributaries of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon region beginning in 2015. These tributary sites include Little Colorado River above the mouth near Desert View, Arizona (USGS site ID 09402300); Kanab Creek above the mouth near Supai, Arizona (USGS site ID 09403850); Havasu Creek above the mouth near Supai, Arizona (USGS site ID 09404115); House Rock Wash below Emmett Wash in Rider Canyon, Arizona (USGS site ID 363851111482000); and Paria River at Lees Ferry, Arizona (USGS site ID 09382000). Monitoring of the Little Colorado River, Kanab Creek, and Havasu Creek sites began in 2015, with other sites added later.

Purpose

Surface water sites in the Grand Canyon region are monitored in order to better understand potential changes in water and sediment chemistry that may be related to breccia-pipe uranium mining in the area. This data release was produced in compliance with 'open data' requirements as a way to make the scientific data associated with USGS research efforts and publications available to the public.
