TP – 1201 An Introduction to Reservoir Water Quality Data Collection and Analysis for Professional Engineers

Description

This technical paper provides guidance on collecting water quality data, database management, and data presentation. It is intended for scientists and engineers responsible for compiling existing data. Since results from data-gathering efforts and water quality sampling programs are used to evaluate both existing reservoir water quality conditions and the attainment of reservoir water quality objectives, these assessment programs must be well conceived and scientifically sound and must provide representative water quality data.
