11: Streamwater sample constituent concentration outliers from 15 watersheds in Gwinnett County, Georgia for water years 2003-2020
This dataset contains a list of outlier sample concentrations identified for 17 water quality constituents from streamwater sample collected at 15 study watersheds in Gwinnett County, Georgia for water years 2003 to 2020. The 17 water quality constituents are: biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), suspended sediment concentration (SSC), total nitrogen (TN), total nitrate plus nitrite (NO3NO2), total ammonia plus organic nitrogen (TKN), dissolved ammonia (NH3), total phosphorus (TP), dissolved phosphorus (DP), total organic carbon (TOC), total calcium (Ca), total magnesium (Mg), total copper (TCu), total lead (TPb), total zinc (TZn), and total dissolved solids (TDS). 885 outlier concentrations were identified. Outliers were excluded from model calibration datasets used to estimate streamwater constituent loads for 12 of these constituents. Outlier concentrations were removed because they had a high influence on the model fits of the concentration relations, which could substantially affect model predictions. Identified outliers were also excluded from loads that were calculated using the Beale ratio estimator. Notes on reason(s) for considering a concentration as an outlier are included.
