This course is designed to provide an overview for understanding water quality monitoring and assessment in freshwater ecosystems. The course takes a broad approach. We will discuss freshwater management objectives and focus on aspects of monitoring and assessment programs that can meet those objectives. The course should provide a good foundation for students wishing to work on water quality management and pollution control. The course should also be useful for students whose career paths are directed toward other areas of resource management.
