The purpose of this project is to encourage a public-private partnership to produce needed information for more effective water quality management. The envisioned approach is that by establishing a framework of shared objectives and activities, and identifying ways to provide for improved coordination, management, and funding, a system can be developed for improved monitoring and assessment of water quality in the San Joaquin River Region.

Project Highlights:

ONLINE
MONITORING DIRECTORY

An interactive directory of current water quality monitoring efforts in the San Joaquin basin to facilitate monitoring coordination and integration. Features include:

  • Monitoring program information (objectives, duration, funding) and metadata (sampling sites, frequency, parameters, data availability);
  • A search form for customized searches;
  • An interactive map for GIS based searching and viewing of monitoring locations and program information;
  • Password-protected domains as a convenient tool for program managers to keep monitoring information updated.

MONITORING AND
ASSESSMENT STRATEGY

A strategy for San Joaquin water quality monitoring and assessment will be established through a participatory process involving state and federal agencies, the regulated community, technical experts, water resources managers, and policy decision-makers.
