| Short Description |
The Washington State Department of Ecology Freshwater Monitoring Unit collected monthly water quality information at 103 stream monitoring stations during Water Year 2008 (October 1, 2007 - September 30, 2008). We also collected 30-minute interval temperature data at 37 sites from July through September 2008. The principal goals of this ongoing monitoring program are to characterize the rivers and streams of Washington State and to track changes in water quality. This report documents data quality and presents results for Water Year 2008. This year's report also includes an evaluation of nitrogen in major Puget Sound area rivers. (Also see abstract below) | |

| Abstract | Long Description |
The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) collected monthly water quality data at 103 stream monitoring stations during Water Year 2008 (October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008). We also collected 30-minute interval temperature data at 37 sites, mostly from July through September 2008. The principal goals of this ongoing monitoring program are to characterize the rivers and streams of Washington State and to track changes in water quality. This report documents methods and data quality and presents the data for Water Year 2008. A description of Ecology′s long-term monitoring program and access to historical data can be found on Ecology′s Internet web site at www.ecy.wa.gov by clicking on "Programs" then "Environmental Assessment" and then "River and Stream Water Quality." |
