Water quality data is continuously collected by monitoring stations that are positioned throughout the Neuse and Cape Fear River Basins. The information collected includes depth, water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrate levels, and turbidity. The data is downloaded each day to NC State University where it is checked for analytical quality. The river data and related plots are then placed on the Stations Data web site. This information is made available for the sake of policy makers, scientists, educators, students and the general public.
