Water Quality and Testing

s regular sample collection and measurement of physical water quality parameters (e.g. temperature, pH, etc.) over the course of approximately 1 year. Timing, frequency, types of samples collected, and specific analyses are determined based on four specific flow periods as described in Table 1 below

. The greatest workload for routine monitoring primarily occurs between June and September of each year. However, special investigations such as those related to environmental events, could result in large numbers of samples in short period
