The RESTORE/TCEQswqmisESTUSAL repository contains R language source code that can be used for digesting data retrieved from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Surface Water Quality Monitoring Program through their Surface Water Quality Data Viewer. The workflow described concerns data manipulations, base data filtering, and computations towards documenting long-term salinity change (parts per thousand per year) statistics and the dynamic writing of prose potentially suitable for inclusion as supporting analysis in comprehensive study of salinity trends in the western Gulf of Mexico.
