## Overview

The `wqbc` R package facilitates cleaning and tidying water quality data and calculating water quality thresholds for British Columbia.

Previously it also calculated the [CCME Water Quality Index](http://www.ccme.ca/en/resources/canadian_environmental_quality_guidelines/index.html) but that functionality has been moved to the [wqindex](https://github.com/bcgov/wqindex) package.

`wqbc` was written by B.C. Ministry of Environment and [Poisson Consulting](http://www.poissonconsulting.ca/) team members.

## Usage

For more information please see the [vignette](https://htmlpreview.github.com/?https://github.com/bcgov/wqbc/master/inst/doc/wqbc.html). 

In your R session, you can type `vignette("wqbc")` to see the vignette.

Please note that this vignette is currently out of date as it includes information on calculating the Water Quality Index (which has been moved to its own package [wqindex](https://github.com/bcgov/wqindex)).

## Install

To install and load the latest version of wqbc:

```{r, eval = FALSE}

# install.packages("remotes") # if remotes is not installed

remotes::install_github("bcgov/wqbc")

library(wqbc)

```
