NATIONAL WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (NAWQA)
The National Water-Quality Assessment
(NAWQA)
Program is designed to describe the status and trends in the
quality of the Nation's ground- and surface-water resources and to provide a sound understanding of the natural and human
factors that affect the quality of these resources. As part of the program, investigations will be conducted in 59 areas-- called
"study units"-- throughout the Nation to provide a framework for national and regional water-quality assessment. Regional
and national synthesis of information from study units will consist of comparative studies of specific water-quality issues
using nationally consistent information.
