Water quality data includes measures of true colour and concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOM) and disinfection by-products (DBP), specifically trihalomethane species. Each record includes community and region information, sampling dates, water sampling source, lab information, and DOM and DBP values. <p><p>Data is derived from MACA records available online at https://www.nwtdrinkingwater.ca/operations/water/water_raw.asp
