EPA works
with state, local and tribal authorities to monitor the quality of water throughout
the nation. State pollution control agencies and Indian tribes have key monitoring
responsibilities and conduct vigorous monitoring programs. Involvement in water
quality monitoring is not limited to large governmental agencies, though. Many
local governments and watershed groups conduct water quality monitoring, and
every citizen can be involved in the monitoring and assessment process; whether
through collecting or analyzing samples,research programs, volunteer monitoring
efforts, or data analysis and watershed modeling.
More information on the Monitoring & Assessing Water Quality is available at the Office of Water Monitoring and Assessing Water Quality
