ODM2 SiteType Controlled Vocabulary
ODM2 Working Group
A vocabulary for describing the type of a data collection Site. To some extent, these types represent the ultimate feature of interest that the site was established to measure. For example, a Stream Site was established to measure properties of a Stream.
Diversion
A site where water is withdrawn or diverted from a surface-water body (e.g. the point where the upstream end of a canal intersects a stream, or point where water is withdrawn from a reservoir). Includes sites where water is pumped for use elsewhere.
Surface Water Sites
Adapted from USGS Site Types.
