#' Instantaneous value data retrieval from USGS (NWIS)
#'
#' Imports data from NWIS web service. This function gets the data from here:
#' \url{https://waterservices.usgs.gov/docs/instantaneous-values/instantaneous-values-details/}
#' Inputs to this function are just USGS site ids, USGS parameter codes,
#' and start and end date. For a more complex query, use \code{\link{readNWISdata}},

#' Not all parameter codes are available for all data.
#' Use the function \code{\link{whatNWISdata}} to discover what data
#' is available for a USGS site. The column data_type_cd with the values "uv"

#'
#' More information on the web service can be found here:

#'
#' @param siteNumbers character USGS site number (or multiple sites). This is usually an 8 digit number
#' @param parameterCd character USGS parameter code. This is usually an 5 digit number.

#' Groundwater level measurements retrieval from USGS (NWIS)
#'
#' Imports groundwater level data from NWIS web service. This function gets the data from here:
#' \url{https://waterservices.usgs.gov/docs/groundwater-levels/groundwater-levels-details/}
#' Inputs to this function are just USGS site ids, USGS parameter codes,
#' and start and end date. For a more complex query, use \code{\link{readNWISdata}},
#' including an argument service="gwlevels".
#' Not all parameter codes are available for all data.
#' Use the function \code{\link{whatNWISdata}} to discover what data
#' is available for a USGS site. The column data_type_cd with the values "gw"
#' returned from \code{\link{whatNWISdata}}) are available from this service.
#'
#' More information on the web service can be found here:
#' \url{https://waterservices.usgs.gov/test-tools}, choosing the
#' "Groundwater Levels Value Service".
#'
#'
#' Mixed date/times come back from the service
#' depending on the year that the data was collected. See \url{https://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/gw}
#' for details about groundwater. By default the returned dates are converted to date objects, unless convertType
#' is specified as FALSE. Sites with non-standard date formats (i.e. lacking a day) can be affected (see examples).
#' See \url{https://waterservices.usgs.gov/docs/groundwater-levels/} for more information.
#'
#' @param siteNumbers character USGS site number (or multiple sites). This is usually an 8 digit number
#' @param startDate character starting date for data retrieval in the form YYYY-MM-DD. Default is "" which indicates
#' retrieval for the earliest possible record.
#' @param endDate character ending date for data retrieval in the form YYYY-MM-DD. Default is "" which indicates
#' retrieval for the latest possible record.
#' @param parameterCd character USGS parameter code. This is usually an 5 digit number. Default is "".
#' @param convertType logical, defaults to \code{TRUE}. If \code{TRUE}, the
#' function will convert the data to dates, datetimes,
#' numerics based on a standard algorithm. If false, everything is returned as a character
#' @param tz character to set timezone attribute of dateTime. Default is "UTC", and converts the
#' date times to UTC, properly accounting for daylight savings times based on the data's provided tz_cd column.
#' Possible values to provide are "America/New_York", "America/Chicago", "America/Denver", "America/Los_Angeles",
#' "America/Anchorage", as well as the following which do not use daylight savings time: "America/Honolulu",
#' "America/Jamaica", "America/Managua", "America/Phoenix", and "America/Metlakatla". See also \code{OlsonNames()}

#' Site statistics retrieval from USGS (NWIS)
#'
#' Retrieves site statistics from the USGS Statistics Web Service beta.
#' See \url{https://waterservices.usgs.gov/docs/statistics/} for more information.
#'
#' @param siteNumbers character USGS site number (or multiple sites). This is usually an 8 digit number.
#' @param parameterCd character USGS parameter code. This is usually a 5 digit number.
#' @param startDate character starting date for data retrieval in the form YYYY, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD. Dates cannot
#' be more specific than the statReportType, i.e. startDate for monthly statReportTypes cannot include days, and annual
#' statReportTypes cannot include days or months. Months and days are optional for the daily statReportType.
#' Default is "" which indicates retrieval for the earliest possible record. For daily data, this indicates the
#' start of the period the statistics will be computed over.
#' @param endDate character ending date for data retrieval in the form YYYY, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD. Default is ""
#' which indicates retrieval for the latest possible record. For daily data, this
#' indicates the end of the period
#' the statistics will be computed over. The same restrictions as startDate apply.
#' @param convertType logical, defaults to \code{TRUE}. If \code{TRUE}, the function will convert the data to
#' numerics based on a standard algorithm. Years, months, and days (if appliccable) are also returned as numerics
#' in separate columns. If convertType is false, everything is returned as a character.
#' @param statReportType character time division for statistics: daily, monthly, or annual. Default is daily.
#' Note that daily provides statistics for each calendar day over the specified range
#' of water years, i.e. no more than 366
#' data points will be returned for each site/parameter. Use readNWISdata or readNWISdv for daily averages.
#' Also note that 'annual' returns statistics for the calendar year. Use readNWISdata
#' for water years. Monthly and yearly
#' provide statistics for each month and year within the range indivually.
#' @param statType character type(s) of statistics to output for daily values.
#' Default is mean, which is the only
#' option for monthly and yearly report types. See the statistics service documentation
#' at \url{https://waterservices.usgs.gov/docs/statistics/} for a full list of codes.
