Documentation

This package combines three other datasets for use in the water quality data ptoject:

* waterservices.usgs.gov-stream_discharge-fashion_valley_sd
* tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov-water_levels-la_jolla#water_levels
* noaa.gov-localclimate-200808_201807-san#lcd-san

The resulting dataset has daily values for rainfall, flow rate for the San Diego river, and the max and min tide level at La Jolla.

See the EDA Notebook for details of the structure of the data, in particular, the time coverage in the Nulls section.
