Surface Water - Freshwater Harmful Algal Blooms
Freshwater harmful algal bloom (HAB) data from the Freshwater Harmful Algal Bloom (FHAB) data system. The FHAB data system is the California State Water Resources Control Board's data system for data and information voluntarily reported to the agency. Bloom reports are voluntary reports submitted by the public or organization to identify a POTENTIAL HAB for evaluation. Bloom Reports may or may not include a report that is confirmed to be a HAB, regardless, all bloom reports are published. Due to the voluntary basis of information and data included in the database, data and information may include: waterbody name and location, potential algal bloom location and observed characteristics, observed field observations and/or analytical sampling results, waterbody and/or land management, general information, recommended advisory status (if any), and updates regarding bloom status. Refer to Data Dictionary and Data Disclaimer for additional information about this dataset.
