Add columns for watershed and contract number as in DN1 and populate based on the town/county information. Add yes/no column if entry is not within our priority watersheds so we can filter out later.
I am not sure if it is generally accurate to map events with the watersheds. This should be clarified with Lori and Jamie.
Corrected and partially standardized location names:
Ames, IA
vs Ames
, or Mt. Pleasant
vs Mount Pleasant
, etc.)@giorgichi The events will be allocated to a particular watershed so even if participants come from a larger area, we will apply it to one watershed only. Is that what you are getting at with your comment?
For town names, we need to follow some standard across all sheets. Can you bring in a standard and cross-check against what we have here?
Here is list of city names for Iowa: https://gist.github.com/Jonathonbyrd/536074
Or from Census: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2010s-total-cities-and-towns.html
Having lat/long with cities is needed at some point also. https://github.com/kelvins/US-Cities-Database

@loriabendroth - I should have stated my question clearer. What I wanted to say is - if a location (city/town) is not within the boundaries of the watershed, does it automatically mean that it is not related to that watershed (even if it is close to the watershed)?
Got it! I think we have to be very strict in this sense otherwise it becomes a slippery slope of what to include. If it is not within the bounds of the watershed, we will NOT include it now.
Used 25 mile centroid approach.
@giorgichi, can you standardize a new data set for ISBI (https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1xDqvrgsXy7z45wJnvtRCYEnStjRQh7Qx). This is complementary to another so want to use same headers and variables as possible.
Tasks include:
[x] Rename column headers to match these from DN1 as possible. For those that don't exist, put in red font and we will come back later. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LyHN7hcPiNWjD6Ljj9Me1oCDIfMmeugkkjSApaKwY-c/edit#gid=607235473
[x] Add columns for watershed and contract number as in DN1 and populate based on the town/county information.
[x] Add yes/no column if entry is not within our priority watersheds so we can filter out later.
[x] Add DN2 to the data dictionary. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1rUW1NjYvmIO9ZiPCLCflCc-6rbQWWtzs
Additional standardizing within some of the columns will be done in the future. We will also need to cross-check this data for those not reported within DN1 by water coordinators so we can have a true total number of events held.
