Indiana Water Quality Monitoring Conference and Inventory

The goal of this process is to promote coordination and

collaboration in water quality monitoring through the

compilation of information on water quality monitoring

taking place in Indiana The two activities will be:

1) A statewide survey of monitoring efforts, which will be

distributed widely to organizations, universities, and

agencies that are conducting water quality monitoring

(Summer 2006)

2) A statewide conference, which will be a forum for

reporting the results and featuring important and

innovative monitoring efforts (Fall 2006)

The outcome of these activities will be a comprehensive

report of water quality monitoring in Indiana, which will be widely available to the water quality community
