About AWQMS:

The Ambient Water Quality Monitoring System (AWQMS) is a web-based data management system for ambient water quality data. It was specifically designed for compatibility with the Water Quality Exchange (WQX) - the new mechanism for exchanging water quality data between the EPA and its partners.

 

AWQMS was developed by Gold Systems and funded in a cooperative effort with the EPA, the National Park Service, the Region 8 Tribes, and the states of Utah, Minnesota, and Illinois.

 

The system includes the following core functionality:
• A highly configurable import module, supporting a wide range of import formats
• Query/List pages for identifying data of interest
• Detail Pages for adding, updating, or deleting records.
• WQX Export enabling full, incremental, and custom submissions to the EPA
• Flat File Export to facilitate data review and analysis in products like Microsoft Excel
• Reports
• Charts and Graphs

 

The system includes support for the following types of data:
• The physical conditions in the environment at the time of a site visit.
• The chemical and bacteriological make-up of the water sampled.
• Chemical analyses of fish tissue collected.
• Biological Taxon Abundance data, including population census, frequency class, group summaries, and individual results
• Toxicity data.
• Habitat Assesment scores and their related metric scores.
• Biological Index scores and their related metric scores.
