Abstract:

Water quality data was collected during monthly sampling at 48 stations in the Barataria Basin watershed from Grand Isle to Bayou Chevreuil during the period 1994-2016. Thirty-seven stations were monitored for the entire 1994-2016 period, five stations from Sept 2005-Dec 2016, and six stations from Sept 2005-July 2007.
