Water Quality Monitoring

Water quality monitoring is becoming a very important aspect of a non-regulatory approach to water protection. Local governments have developed programs to identify problem areas in their community where contamination has already affected water quality. In addition, monitoring can be used to measure the effectiveness of the water protection program or as an early warning of threats. Monitoring can be conducted by state and local governments and water utilities, or industry and commercial activities may wish to develop their own water quality monitoring programs. Frequently volunteers, particularly retired citizens and high school or university classes, can serve as effective resource quality observers.
