Water Quality Data from Storm Runoff after the 2007 Fires, San Diego County, California

摘要

The purpose of this report is to present water-quality data collected from runoff in two areas burned in the 2007 Witch and Harris Fires. This runoff may contain contamination that can end up in the waterways and reservoirs. Water-quality samples were collected during the first runoff events following the fires. The sampling locations were selected to identify water-quality differences between urban and rural settings and to evaluate runoff that may end up in local drinking-water reservoirs.
