This month we’re diving into the world of water quality monitoring. The "how" of achieving clean water can be messy – but crucial – work. Monitoring helps guide decisions surrounding the implementation of the rest of the Clean Water Act. We’ll explore the elements of successful water quality monitoring programs, where these programs are heading, and hear a couple success stories along the way.
