About This Site
This site displays the most recent water quality data available. In some cases sites are not all sampled on the same day. A value of -1 means there was no reading. The map displays proportional symbols. The size of the symbol is proportional to the value for the pollutant type. For clarification of methods and interpretation of results please contact Steve Peters at (831)454-5010 or e-mail @ env032@co.santa-cruz.ca.us. For help with this web site please contact Matt Price at (831)454-3101 or e-mail @ Matt.Price@co.santa-cruz.ca.us.
