     "text": "Two gaging stations in each watershed were strategically positioned to monitor water quantity and quality entering and exiting the City's watersheds. Gaging stations were placed at/near the county border and at the furthest downstream location with no tidal influence.  Data from these gaging stations will allow PWD scientists and engineers to monitor spatial and temporal water quality/quantity trends in support of watershed restoration initiatives occurring within Philadelphia.  In addition, the \"color coding\" (red, yellow, green) of various water-quality parameters will allow scientists at a glance to monitor the aquatic health of our riverine systems on a daily basis and provide a yearly aquatic health report card to PWD, state, federal, and local watershed groups/agencies.  Lastly, these stations will be used as PWD's long-term wet-weather monitoring stations, building upon the extensive period of flow and continuous water-chemistry records."

This monitoring network is equipped with both water-quantity (water discharge and stage) and water-quality (pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, and in some cases, turbidity) measurement equipment that report data in near real time (within hours)."
