Land Area
Water Area
Land area is a measurement providing the size, in square miles, of the land portions of geographic entities for which the Census Bureau tabulates and disseminates data. Area is calculated from the specific boundary recorded for each entity in the Census Bureau's geographic database. Land area is based on current information in the TIGER® data base, calculated for use with Census 2010.
Water Area figures include inland, coastal, Great Lakes, and territorial sea water. Inland water consists of any lake, reservoir, pond, or similar body of water that is recorded in the Census Bureau's geographic database. It also includes any river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that is recorded in that database as a two- dimensional feature (rather than as a single line). The portions of the oceans and related large embayments (such as Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound), the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea that belong to the United States and its territories are classified as coastal and territorial waters; the Great Lakes are treated as a separate water entity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies of water are treated as inland water from the point beyond which they are narrower than 1 nautical mile across. Identification of land and inland, coastal, territorial, and Great Lakes waters is for data presentation purposes only and does not necessarily reflect their legal definitions.

Water Quality Sampling Data
datahub.austintexas.gov | Last Updated 2024-10-26T08:29:13.000ZData collected to assess water quality conditions in the natural creeks, aquifers and lakes in the Austin area. This is raw data, provided directly from our Water Resources Monitoring database (WRM) and should be considered provisional. Data may or may not have been reviewed by project staff. A map of site locations can be found by searching for LOCATION.WRM_SAMPLE_SITES; you may then use those WRM_SITE_IDs to filter in this dataset using the field SAMPLE_SITE_NO.

Citizen Statewide Lake Monitoring Assessment Program (CSLAP) Lakes
data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2024-03-01T18:08:08.000ZThe dataset represents the lakes participating in the Citizen Statewide Lake Monitoring Assessment Program (CSLAP). CSLAP is a volunteer lake monitoring and education program that is managed by DEC and New York State Federation of Lake Associations (NYSFOLA). The data collected through the program is used to identify water quality issues, detect seasonal and long term patterns, and inform volunteers and lake residents about water quality conditions in their lake. The program has delivered high quality data to many DEC programs for over 25 years.The dataset catalogs CSLAP lake information; including: lake name, lake depth, public accessibility, trophic status, watershed area, elevation, lake area, water quality classification, county, town, CSLAP status, years sampled, and last year sampled.

Watershed Reach Index and Problem Scores
datahub.austintexas.gov | Last Updated 2023-06-12T21:54:44.000ZThe Environmental Integrity Index (EII) is a tool developed by the City of Austin’s Environmental Resource Management Division to monitor and assess the ecological integrity and the degree of impairment in Austin’s watersheds. This feature class provides the most recent results from the EII for the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department’s Masterplanning process. Similarly, the Austin Lakes Index was designed to provide a yearly assessment of the ecological integrity of Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and Lake Long. Index scores (from both the EII and ALI) are an integer between 0 and 100. Excellent 88-100 | Very Good 76-87 | Good 63-75 | Fair 51-62 | Marginal38-50 | Poor 26-37 | Bad 13-25 | Very Bad 0-12. Problem Scores are an integer between 1 and 100 with 1 being "No Problem" and 100 being a highest priority.

Strategic Measure_Number and percentage of creeks and lakes in good or excellent health
datahub.austintexas.gov | Last Updated 2023-04-10T13:40:07.000ZStrategic Direction 2023 (SD23) Measure HE.D.3 reports the number and percentage of creeks and lakes in good or excellent health. This measure is calculated every two years using the monitoring data from the Watershed Protection Department's Environmental Integrity Index (EII) and Austin Lakes Index (ALI) programs. These programs monitor and assess the chemical, biological, and physical integrity of Austin’s creeks and lakes. Note: Due to software limitations, the scores for one biennial reporting period (e.g., FY2013/2014) are repeated twice in the dataset in order to enable the creation of data visualizations that require annual reporting.
