Council Report Assesses Progress on State Water Quality Monitoring

The California Water Quality Monitoring Council has issued a 2011 progress report on implementation of a comprehensive monitoring strategy for the state.

The strategy, released in December 2010, is aimed at assembling a wide array of water quality data about the state’s lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands and ocean waters. The information is made available to the public through a series of Internet portals themed My Water Quality.

The new report notes progress during 2011 in such areas as development of new portals and formation of workgroups to coordinate specific efforts.

The 2011 progress report is available here.
