Water Quality, Toxicity, and Tissue Data
Once data have been entered into the SWAMP database and have undergone the SWAMP procedures for verification and transfer to the permanent side of the database, they are displayed on the Bay Delta and Tributaries Project (BDAT) website. In the future, SWAMP data will be available at the California Environmental Data Exchange Network (CEDEN) website. For specific questions regarding the data, please contact the appropriate State or Regional Board Representative.

To retrieve data from the SWAMP program, visit the BDAT website and select from the following options:

Water Quality Data
For Water Quality data (including sediment studies) other than toxicity analysis, select the category “Water Quality” and then select “Projects”. From the Projects screen, select “Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program” and then make selections as are appropriate to drill down further to the data being researched.

Toxicity Data
For Toxicity analysis data, select the category “Toxicity” and then select “Projects”. From the Projects screen, select “Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program” and then make selections as are appropriate to drill down further to the data being researched.

Online Tissue data in the SWAMP program is currently available as a Microsoft Excel download.
