Monitoring Objectives

This group will define key questions and driving forces (e.g. TMDLs, 305b reports, Clean Water Action Plan, etc.), and determine which questions are being answered and which are not.  One potential project would be to analyze the monitoring inventory underway or survey Council members to compile a list of general research questions that organizations are attempting to answer with monitoring data.  Determining where research objective compatibilities and incompatibilities exist will be an important function of this group.
