Monroe County Annual Water Quality Study

The annual water quality study in Monroe County has produced a solid foundation for both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the County's surface water. The main objective of this effort has been to develop procedures that specifically address intra-county water quality problems for the purpose of documentation and rectification and to continue efforts to establish baseline data for streams which have not previously been sampled. Since the study's inception, over 250 individual sites have been tested and many of these have been sampled during three or more years. The data collected provides the information necessary for analysis of the County's surface water.  For additional information click on the links below.
