Water Resources Monitoring Program
Detailed Description of Water Resources Monitoring Program Monitoring Objectives The process of designing a water resources monitoring program begins with a clear definition of program goals and objectives (Reinelt and others, 1988). The goals then guide the entire process of program design and implementation. Ideally, the data obtained through monitoring provide an objective source of information needed to support management decisions. Specifically, an effective water-quality monitoring program will provide quantitative answers to the following questions (Intergovernmental Task Force on Monitoring Water Quality, 1995): · What is the condition of the source water? · Where, how, and why are water-quality conditions changing over time? · What problems are related to source-water quality? Where are the problems occurring and what is causing them? · Are programs to prevent or remediate problems working effectively? · Are water-quality goals and standards being met? The primary goal of the Cambridge drinking water source-area monitoring program is to ensure that water withdrawn from Fresh Pond for treatment is as free as possible from contaminants, thereby minimizing the costs of treatment. Specific objectives of the program are to: · Monitor the condition of source waters in the Cambridge drinking water supply system; · Determine where, when, and how water-quality conditions are changing over time; · Identify actual and potential problems related to source-water quality; · Evaluate effectiveness of programs to prevent or remediate problems; · Ensure that all applicable water-quality goals, standards, and guidelines are being met; and · Provide for rapid response to emerging problems.
