#
#	REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  SWGW-2.SPATIAL.GW.GAPS.txt
#
#       This data set contains dissolved-solids concentration data for wells in the San Luis Valley
#	of Colorado and New Mexico, and also wells in the Coastal Basin of Southern California. These data
#	were used to fill in spatial gaps where dissolved-solids concentration conditions had not been 
#	reported by previous studies.  	
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#	REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  SWGW-2.SPATIAL.SW.SAMPLES.txt
#
#	This data set contains dissolved-solids concentration and stream discharge data for 
#	surface-water samples collected from USGS stream-water-quality monitoring stations in the 
#	Southwestern United States. There are multiple samples per station. These samples were used
#	to develop concentration-discharge relations for each station. Those relations were then
#	used in conjunction with daily streamflow data to compute daily and annual dissolved-solids 
#	loads. 
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#	REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  SWGW-2.SPATIAL.SW.ANNUAL_CONCENTRATION.txt
#
#	This data set is a matrix containing annual concentration data for surface-water-quality monitoring
#	sites in the Southwest. These flow-weighted concentration data were computed by dividing the 
#	annual dissolved-solids load by the annual discharge at each site and applying a factor to
#	convert units to mg/L.
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#	REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  SWGW-2.SPATIAL.SW.ANNUAL_DISCHARGE.txt
#
#	This data set is a matrix containing annual discharge data for surface-water-quality
