Statewide coverage of Storage Retrieval (STORET) sampling stations. STORET is an acronym for STORage and RETrieval database, and is currently used for the storage of biological, chemical, and physical data for ground and surface waters. While the United States Environmental Protection Agency designed STORET as a national water quality database, Florida's STORET database design is dictated by a state regulation called the Impaired Waters Rule (Chapter 62-303, Florida Administrative Code). Many organizations provide data to STORET. |
