Cape Cod - Detailed step-by-step

Standardize, clean and wrangle Water Quality Portal data in Cape Cod into more analytic-ready formats using the harmonize_wq package

US EPA’s Water Quality Portal (WQP) aggregates water quality, biological, and physical data provided by many organizations and has become an essential resource with tools to query and retrieval data using python or R. Given the variety of data and variety of data originators, using the data in analysis often requires data cleaning to ensure it meets the required quality standards and data wrangling to get it in a more analytic-ready format. Recognizing the definition of analysis-ready varies depending on the analysis, the harmonixe_wq package is intended to be a flexible water quality specific framework to help:

  • Identify differences in data units (including speciation and basis)

  • Identify differences in sampling or analytic methods

  • Resolve data errors using transparent assumptions

  • Reduce data to the columns that are most commonly needed

  • Transform data from long to wide format

Domain experts must decide what data meets their quality standards for data comparability and any thresholds for acceptance or rejection.

Detailed step-by-step workflow

This example workflow takes a deeper dive into some of the expanded functionality to examine results for different water quality parameters in Cape Cod

Harmonize Characteristic Results

Two options for functions to harmonize characteristics: harmonize_all() or harmonize_generic(). harmonize_all runs functions on all characteristics and lets you specify how to handle errors harmonize_generic runs functions only on the characteristic specified with char_val and lets you also choose output units, to keep intermediate columns and to do a quick report summarizing changes.

# Each harmonize function has optional params, e.g., char_val is the characticName column value to use so we can send the entire df.
# Optional params: units='m', char_val='Depth, Secchi disk depth', out_col='Secchi', report=False)

# We start by demonstrating on secchi disk depth (units default to m, keep intermediate fields, see report)

Some equivalence assumptions are built-in where bacteria counts that are not equivalent are treated as such because there is no standard way to convert from one to another.

Combining Salinity and Conductivity

Convert module has various functions to convert from one unit or characteristic to another. Some of these are used within a single characteristic during harmonization (e.g. DO saturation to concentration) while others are intended to model one characteristic as an indicator of another (e.g. estimate salinity from conductivity).

Note: this should only be done after both characteristic fields have been harmonized. Results before and after should be inspected, thresholds for outliers applied, and consider adding a QA_flag for modeled data.

Explore Salinity results:

[72]:
from harmonize_wq import convert
[73]:
# First note initial Salinity info
lst = [x.magnitude for x in list(df['Salinity'].dropna())]
q_sum = sum(lst)
print('Range: {} to {}'.format(min(lst), max(lst)))
print('Results: {} \nMean: {} PSU'.format(len(lst), q_sum/len(lst)))
Range: -30.0 to 4003.4828342857154
