Historic Data

We are working to improve our systems to share data with you in a more timely manner. This page contains the 2013 – 2017 data in a variety of formats (see below). Starting with the 2021 monitoring season provisional data as well as older data dashboards (scroll down) are available by clicking HERE. (Let us know what you think of these dashboards and if you have any ideas of how we can improve them (eherron@uri.edu)). You can find, filter and download data from that data hub too.  We are also working to upload data to national databases, so that tools such as  the US EPA’s How’s My Waterway and other data tools from that data hub can be used with URIWW data – so check back frequently.

We also have yearly .csv files; click here to download them.
Please contact us if you have any questions about the data. Also, please remember to acknowledge URI Watershed Watch as the source of the data.  We recommend either:

“We gratefully acknowledge the University of Rhode Island Watershed Watch program and the many trained URI Watershed Watch volunteer water quality monitors who collected water samples for analysis at the state certified URI Watershed Watch Analytical Lab.
