and discrete water quality data from the [Samples database](https://waterdata.usgs.gov/download-samples/#dataProfile=site). This new module replaces the `nwis` module, which provides access to the legacy [NWIS

Water Services](https://waterservices.usgs.gov/). Take a look at the new [`waterdata` module demo notebook](demos/WaterData_demo.ipynb), which walks through an extended example using a majority of the available `waterdata` functions.
