Escherichia coli data from samples collected in the Little Blue River and tributaries in Independence, MO, during the 2010-2016 recreation seasons

The dataset contains Escherichia coli (E. coli) concentrations and loads that were measured and calculated from samples collected from the Little Blue River and its tributaries in Independence, MO. The data was collected during the 2010-2016 recreation seasons. The U.S. Geological Survey, in coordination with the City of Independence, collected the data for use in regression models to evaluation E. coli loads in the Little Blue River and its tributaries within the boundaries of the City of Independence. Further information on the methods and the results of the data collection and regression models can be found in the conference proceedings paper cited below. Citation: Flickinger, A.; Christensen, E.

Daily values calculated using 15-minute continuously recorded hydrologic and physical parameters at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgages in Independence, MO, 2010 through 2016

The dataset contains daily values of hydrologic and physical parameters. These daily values were calculated from continuous (15-minute) data collected from continuous water quality monitors (CWQMs) installed at five gaged sites within the Little Blue River watershed in Independence, Missouri. The data were used as input to regression models to predict Escherichia coli (E. coli) loads. Any data estimation was performed according to procedures described in the WEFTEC 2017 conference proceedings paper "Evaluation of Modeled Bacteria Loads Along an Impaired Stream Reach Receiving Discharge from a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System in Independence, Mo." Periods of missing daily values were due to equipment malfunction,...
