MDCB-WIS Interactions
This workgroup aims to guide the effective design of water quality monitoring programs by connecting management questions with monitoring efforts. It promotes strategies for managing, accessing, and exchanging water quality data while ensuring comparable methods for data analysis and interpretation. Areas of focus include recommending quality assurance measures, integrating data assessment methods, and developing a Monitoring Framework Expert System. This system will assist water quality management program designers in adhering to best practices, including compliance with essential monitoring program elements.

Presentation Transcript
WIS Workgroup Objectives • Provide guidance to ensure that program/network designs connect monitoring efforts to questions of management • Promote strategies related to the management, access, and exchange of water quality data • Communicate comparable methods of data integration, analysis, and interpretation
Possible areas of MDCB/WIS-Data Analysis & Interpretation interaction: Comparable methods of data assessment and interpretation Registered methods (NEMI?)
Possible areas of MDCB/WIS-Data Management & Access interaction: Recommendation of QA Reports to include in Database design
Possible areas of MDCB/WIS-Program Development & Network Design interaction: Develop a Monitoring Framework Expert System to walk WQM program designers through the steps to design a monitoring program compliant with, e.g., 10 Monitoring Program Elements
