EPA Factsheets on Water Quality Parameters
The water quality parameter factsheets were developed to provide an introduction to monitoring
common parameters; Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Turbidity, Macroinvertebrates, E. coli,
Nutrients, Habitat Assessment and Metals. References can be found
for more detailed information on each parameter.
