Opportunities to Improve the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Assessment Program

Committee to Improve the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Assessment Program,Water Science and Technology Board,National Research Council,National Academy of Sciences

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) established the National Water Quality Assesment (NAWQA) program in 1985 to assess water quality conditions and trends in representative river basins and aquifers across the United States. With this report, the NRC’s Water Science and Technology Board has provided advice to USGS regarding NAWQA five separate times as the program evolved from an unfunded concept to a mature and nationally - recognized program in 2002. This report assesses the program’s development and representative accomplishments to date and makes recommendations on opportunities to improve NAWQA as it begins its second decade of nationwide monitoring.
