Description: The Water Quality eXchange (WQX) is a standardized data framework and submission mechanism for sharing water quality data that is administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The WQX-refvals format includes sections that correlate to reference tables unique to the EQuIS WQX Schema. This format is used to load WQX-specific reference values into the database. An example EDD with WQX reference values (WQX refvals for WQX-refvals format.xlsx) is included in the EQuIS WQX package to use with this format. This can be modified and loaded using the WQX-refvals format in EDP.      

 

See the EQuIS WQX Package Overview for more information on WQX, related terminology, and anticipated workflow for using EQuIS to submit data to WQX.

 

See the WQX Reference Values Setup article for more information on using this format and/or remapping that may be required for the WQX workflow.
