You are defining which pieces of information you want to be uploaded via WQX-Web. A user guide to get you started on how to work with WQX-Web templates can be found here: https://www.epa.gov/waterdata/water-quality-exchange-web-template-user-guide EPA provided WQX-Web template files based on the type of data you are providing can be found here: https://www.epa.gov/waterdata/water-quality-exchange-web-template-files
