Description:
Abstract:
The U.S. Geological Survey maintains the National Water Information System that includes information on water resources in the United States. This layer contains the NWIS monitoring stations for surface and ground water in New Jersey. The surface water stations are mostly stream and estuary monitoring locations, whereas the ground water monitoring occurs at well locations. A station is a location at which a data collection event takes place, such a collection of a field sample, or measurement of field parameters.
Purpose:
The NWIS GIS layer was generated to support water quality analysis in NJDEP, and public access through data download and web-based interactive mapping applications (NJ-GeoWeb).

Process_Description:
Extracted the zip file from the WQP and imported it into Excel 2010, keeping the Latitude and Longitude columns as General columns. Deleted rows for monitoring location types related to: Atmosphere, Facility, Land, Subsurface and Test Hole. Deleted rows for organizations that are in the Volunteer Water Monitoring (VWM) and Water Quality Data Exchange (WQDE) data systems and the test organizations in STORET. Removed the organization identifier from the monitoring location identifier. Renamed the column headings to match the current Envr_mon_gw_NWIS feature class. Saved the spreadsheet as Stations.xlsx.

Process_Description:
Started ArcMap 10.2 and create a feature class from Stations.xlsx using LongitudeMeasure and LatitudeMeasure as the XY fields and GCS_NAD83 as the coordinate system. Selected all records with organization identifiers like USGS and exported them to a new NWIS feature class. Switched the selection and export the selected records to a new STORET feature class. Added the field REULTS_LINK (text 100 characters) to the new STORET feature class. Calculated the value of the RESULTS_LINK field to be the organization, a dash(-) and the monitoring location. Deleted fields from the STORET feature class that didn’t match the current STORET feature class. Used IDENTITY on both feature classes with njmunhuc14 and created the feature classes Envr_mon_gw_NWIS_new and Envr_mon_STORET_EPA_new . Opened the attribute table and deleted the old FID columns.

Ordering_Instructions:
All available NJDEP public GIS data can be downloaded for free. Some data shown in NJGeoWeb application may not yet be available for download due to various data or distribution issues. Please email gisnet@dep.state.nj.us with any data distribution questions.
Custom_Order_Process:
The NJDEP may distribute GIS data in a variety of formats, such as the ESRI shapefile and/or various versions of the file geodatabase format. The data also may be available for viewing on various profiles of the NJ GeoWeb online mapping application.
Note: Some older NJDEP data may not contain .prj files due to distribution procedures at that time. If download does not contain a .prj, please download from:
<http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/njsp83.zip>
Please rename .prj to the name of the downloadable filename. (for example: If Head of Tides filename is HOT.shp, please rename .prj to HOT.prj). This allows ESRI software to recognize the projection information.
