Water Quality Monitoring Programs

Water Quality Monitoring Programs involve regularly testing and assessing water sources—such as lakes, rivers, and drinking supplies—to ensure they are safe and healthy. These programs measure various factors like pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pollutants, and bacteria levels. The goal is to detect pollution, track changes over time, and identify potential health or environmental risks. Data collected helps agencies make informed decisions about water management, pollution control, and public health protection, ensuring that water remains clean, safe, and suitable for its intended use.
