Water Quality Portal Quick Reference Guide
This is a guide to using the Water Quality Portal services. This guide does not provide advanced instructions to use Portal services as geospatial services with geographic information system (GIS) servers. This guide will assist in properly downloading your data by basic and advanced options. This webpage is meant to be an easy way to query or navigate the User Interface and documentation, maintaining it in such a way so that it can be easily transitioned from WQX 2.0 to WQX 3.0 outbound schema profiles.
