Abstract Long Description

The Washington State Department of Ecology has operated a long-term river and stream monitoring program since 1970. The current program conducts monthly monitoring of 14 water quality indicators at approximately 80 stations within the state.

The goals of the program are to provide: 1) water quality information that can be used to characterize past and current conditions; 2) data that can be used to refine and verify water quality models or to help evaluate other site-specific water quality issues; and 3) data from representative river and stream segments that are used to evaluate impairment of beneficial uses and to detect violations of state water quality standards.

The data appendix to this publication is Ecology Publication Number 01-03-026.
