This paper describes a public domain semiautomated data screening and quality assurance processing tool useful for both discrete and continuous data. This application serves both a field research project assessing salinity and methylmercury drainage load control options and the requirements of a public domain watershed-based water quality forecasting model used to provide decision support for short-term salinity management in the San Joaquin River Basin of California. The US Army Corps of Engineers HEC-DSSVue data management and visualization platform was enhanced in the former application with Python scripts that performed the basic data quality assurance functions. Analogous tools were developed for use on the HOSTGATOR cloud server using the same Python scripts and algorithms to migrate quality-controlled data directly to a server for use by the Watershed Analysis Risk Management Framework (WARMF) water quality forecasting model. The Python scripts for both applications are easily adaptable by other potential users who do not currently have the resources to implement an enterprise-level hydrological data management and real-time quality assurance software system.
