Raw Station Data

Another assumption implicit in the current water quality management scheme is that fecal coliform counts are correlated with levels of precipitation, which is turn correlated with water flux on the Wilson River. The Wilson River is continually monitored by the USGS and is used as a simple trigger device to predict levels of fecal contamination. The validity of this assumption can be addressed to some degree by pairing together pairs of fecal coliform counts a Wilson River gauges records which are closely matched in time. This analysis is crude, however, is is very sensitive to data sparsity. The results here must therefore be interpreted as a first cut. That is, an apparent lack of correlation here does not neccesarily indicate a real lack of relationship, but may only indicate that the coliform levels on the bay are correlated with more than one parameter.
