Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay-Delta Continuous (15 Minute) water quality monitoring data collected by the Continuous Environmental Monitoring Program, DWR, 2005- 2025.

Since its inception in the mid-1980s, CEMP has progressively expanded its monitoring capabilities, consistently augmenting the number of monitoring locations and the array of water quality parameters assessed. Its commitment to utilizing the most advanced water quality monitoring technology reaffirms its position as an environmental monitoring leader in the Delta and Suisun Bay. Today, the program oversees 15 water quality stations that reliably capture data every 15 minutes, each day of the year, transmitting this data in real-time.

The core tenents of CEMP: • to obtain consistent and accurate data in real-time at established monitoring stations • to provide data necessary to achieve compliance with salinity, flow, and dissolved oxygen standards • to perform data analyses for further understanding of estuarine ecology • to report information to other government agencies, as well as the public, for the purpose of management and conservation of the upper San Francisco Estuary (SFE). • to provide continuous water quality monitoring expertise for other groups within DWR and sister agencies for the benefit of ecological studies throughout the San Francisco- Sacramento Estuary ## About This Federated Record This CNRA Open Data Platform record is based on metadata federated from the Environmental Data Initiative (EDI) Data Portal.
