| Data Gathering and
Analysis |
| We offer storm and ambient water monitoring,
training in water monitoring, system design, and lab analysis
of the resultant samples. In addition we use our state-of-the-art
equipment and EPA quality assurance standards for monitoring
weather and biological conditions. Monitoring is available
within Texas. Installation of our system and training
in our methods is available at other locations. |

Our laboratory
performs routine water, soil, and sediment testing along with
specialized analyses of pesticides, metals, and bioassessments.
We emphasize high-quality analysis as measured by quality
assurance guidelines approved by EPA.
 We
are familiar with the importance of adequate data storage,
mining, integrity, security, and confidentiality issues. The
databases we have constructed provide accurate and substantiated
information along with important new views of data. Interpreting
data, whether it arises from the field or a computer model,
is the underpinning of our scientific research.
Our water quality database contains time-stamped
data collected over ten years, including routine constituents
such as nutrients (nitrogen, nitrate, nitrite, soluble phosphorus,
phosphorus), total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, temperature,
conductivity, pH, and other requested measures. We also store
QC data and meteorological data. Through SAS, we have the
capability to meaningfully analyze the data. In addition to
the water quality database, we have ten years of data about
the location of dairy farms and land use in the Bosque River
watershed that has enabled us to examine ground truth over
time.
Currently, we are initiating an effort
under a cooperating agreement with EPA to build a national
watershed database pinpointing the location of CAFOs by watershed.
