The Ambient Water Quality Monitoring Program

 

Surface Water Management’s Ambient Water Quality Monitoring Program assesses the biological, chemical and physical health of freshwater streams and rivers in the County.

The program supports the mission of Surface Water Management through working in partnership with the public to protect and enhance water quality for future generations. Through long term monitoring of surface waters, resource managers can determine whether the health of aquatic systems is stable, improving or declining. Waterbodies in a healthy state deserve protection, while those in decline deserve prioritization for habitat restoration or application of improved land use practices.
