Presentations available from National Monitoring Conference

The National Water Quality Monitoring Council has posted presentations from their biennial conference. The presentations are not exclusively Western, but because the conference was held in Denver you'll find many Western-focused presentations (as well as plenty of topics of broader applicability).

The Council's website describes the conference as follows:

Monitoring From the Summit to the Sea focused on the many facets of water quality and water quantity monitoring for improved understanding, protection, and restoration of our natural resources and communities. The conference provides a unique forum for water practitioners from all backgrounds - including governmental organizations, volunteers, academia, watershed and environmental groups and the private sector - to exchange information, develop skills, and foster collaboration and coordination. Presenters showcased new findings on the quality of the Nation's streams and groundwater, and highlighted recent innovations and cutting-edge tools in water-quality monitoring, assessment, and reporting. The location in Denver, Colorado provided a forum to showcase western water monitoring issues.
