      Process_Description: Point coverage derived from text data obtained 
                           from the Western Regional Climate Center at the
                           Desert Research Institute
                           (http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/inventory/sodaz.html) 
                           based on the Lat Long coordinates.

      Process_Time:
    Process_Step:
      Process_Description: Point coverage projected to NAD27, then
                           reprojected to NAD83.
      Process_Date: unknown
      Process_Time:
    Process_Step:
      Process_Description: Points within San Pedro Basin selected and 
                           converted to shapefile in ArcView.
      Process_Date: 8/28/03

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description: Point shapefile converted to coverage in ArcInfo
                           with projection defined as NAD83.
      Process_Date: 8/28/03
      Process_Time:
    Process_Step:
      Process_Description: Point coverage converted to shapefile with
                           all duplicate points removed.  The NWS_ID field
                           was added to the attribute table; the values
                           are copied from the numerical portion of the 
                           STATION_ID for use with the AGWA extension.
