http://www.seattlecentral.edu/qelp/Data.html
The Quantitative Environmental Learning Project from the Seattle, Washington area is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The site provides a group of data sets in water pollution, water resources, and related categories. These data sets are excellent resources for use in the development of web-based assignments centered on practicing limnological skills. well-studied lakes globallyInternational Lake Environment Committee
