Water quality data from were collected by the Monitoring Section of the State of Hawaii, Department of Health. Data were obtained from 373 state-wide coastal stations employing well-established instruments and methodologies. This dataset spans 1973-1998. Parameters include temperature, salinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, percent saturation of oxygen, pH, turbidity, total suspended solids, total nitrogen, dissolved ammonia nitrogen, nitrate and nitrite nitrogen total phosphate, total dissolved phosphorus, ortho-phosphate phosphorus, chlorophyll-a, silicate, Secchi disk depth, Oxidation-Reduction Potential, and concentration of fecal coliforms. Data are in a comma separated value (.csv) format.

Supplemental Information
This data set replaces NODC Accession 9800067 with the new csv format; plus adds 1/1/1998 12/31/1998.
Purpose The Clean Water Branch (CWB) protects the public health of residents and tourists who enjoy recreating in and around Hawaii’s coastal and inland water resources. The CWB also protects and restores inland and coastal waters for marine life and wildlife. This is accomplished through statewide coastal water surveillance and watershed-based environmental management through a combination of permit issuance, monitoring, enforcement, sponsorship of polluted runoff control projects, and public education.
