Description | Objective | Prerequisites | You Supply | Schedule | Registration | Arranging a delivery in your community
Description:
This
two-day comprehensive classroom-based course will provide participants with
in-depth knowledge and skills required to design and develop a structured
water quality monitoring program. Course participants will complete and participate

and federal legislation and best management practices for monitoring program
design.
Objective:
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify and define water quality terms critical to effective study design
- Define the main principles in the design of effluent sampling programs and ambient fresh water quality monitoring programs
- Contrast and define a variety of potential program designs
