- Make discharge field optional in data validator
- Remove discharge from required fields list
- Add explicit null check for discharge before float conversion
- Prevent "float() argument must be a string or a real number, not 'NoneType'" errors
- Allow records with valid water levels but malformed/null discharge data
This completes the malformed data handling fix by updating the validator
to match the parser's new behavior of allowing null discharge values.
Before: Validator rejected records with null discharge
After: Validator accepts records with null discharge, validates only if present
