Assuming you're looking for relevant R information, it seems like packages such as EGRET, dbhydroR, waterData, and RSAlgaeR are potentially relevant. My lab uses R extensively, including EGRET and in-house code.
There's a lot of information out there, including case studies: Try a search for water quality on the incredibly useful rseek.org Most research uses the same data sources you bemoan - we sometimes have our own data, but largely rely on USGS etc. Sarah On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 11:03 AM Rich Shepard <rshep...@appl-ecosys.com> wrote: > > On Fri, 31 Aug 2018, Rich Shepard wrote: > > > My work as an environmental science consultant, ... means that all data > > available to me are generated by regulatory requirements, not by the needs > > for a research project.
