Water Quality Data Needs Sample Clauses

Water Quality Data Needs. In rivers, the bulk of the solutes in the headwaters are derived from soils and groundwater baseflow, where the influence of water-rock interactions is important. Lower down the system or catchment, anthropogenic inputs from diffuse or point sources may be significant. A proper water sampling program will monitor changes in water quality of all waters in the region (starting as rain, ending in the ground, our bodies, or etc.) The number of sampling points for sediment and water quality monitoring strongly depends on the objectives. For trend detection, a low number of sampling points or mixing samples into composite samples can sometimes yield enough information. If spatial information is to be estimated, the number of sites will increase and composite samples will normally not be used. In general, locations in the main flow of the water bodies will be chosen for water sampling. All surface waters that are a source of drinking water should be monitored for water quality. Monitoring should be frequent enough to ensure that water is fit to drink and to document fluctuations of contaminant concentrations that may occur in the water. A representative fraction of streams in the region should be sampled. A proper sampling network will monitor natural streams outside of the impact of human development, and will monitor creeks and streams in close proximity to the urban interface. For watersheds where problems are known or suspected, the water quality should be measured using a network of sampling stations. Sampling for stream water quality should be conducted at or near streamflow gauge stations to allow the computation of contaminant loads.
