Recommendations for core water quality monitoring parameters and other key elements of the NPS vital signs program water quality monitoring component
US National Park Service. 2002. Recommendations for core water quality monitoring parameters and other key elements of the NPS vital signs program water quality monitoring component. Freshwater Workgroup Subcommittee
This workgroup was formed as an outgrowth of recommendations made at the November 2001 Water Quality Monitoring Workshop related to the possible requirement that a basic set of "core" water quality parameters be collected in the water quality monitoring component of the Vital Signs Program. The consensus expressed by participants in that meeting was that the Water Resources Division (WRD) of the National Park Service (NPS) should gain additional input from Parks and consult with other Federal and State agencies to determine 1) what a core set of parameters should consist of, 2) if they should be universally mandated at freshwater/marine/estuarine monitoring sites, and 3) if they should be the same for all types of waterbodies. A parallel workgroup to address core parameters for marine and estuarine monitoring was also scheduled to meet on a subsequent date in Rhode Island... [from executive summary]
