\description{
Imports data from user-supplied data file. Specifically
used to import water quality data for use in the WRTDS
package. For WRTDS usage, the first column is expected to
be dates, the second column remarks (specifically < if
censored data), and the third column is measured values.
There can be additional columns of data, for each column of
data, there should be a remark column preceeding.
