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.
