What is WQX?What is WQX? Water Quality Exchange (WQX) Version 1.0 is a Water Quality Exchange (WQX) Version 1.0 is a
new system that facilitates the submission of new system that facilitates the submission of water quality and related environmental water quality and related environmental monitoring data between EPA and its partners monitoring data between EPA and its partners over the internet over the internet
WQX Version 1.0 uses web technology and a WQX Version 1.0 uses web technology and a common defined template (the WQX schema) to common defined template (the WQX schema) to flow physical, chemical and fish tissue data from flow physical, chemical and fish tissue data from an EPA data partner’s own database to the an EPA data partner’s own database to the existing STORET Warehouse existing STORET Warehouse
