PROJECTS:
Monitoring and Assessment

The Long-Term Monitoring and Assessment Program (LTMAP) identifies and prioritizes information needs and lays out a framework for coordinating monitoring activities within the watershed.

The guiding principle of the project is to provide information to the public and decision-makers by assessing the physical, hydrological, chemical, biological, and social characteristics of the San Francisquito watershed on an ongoing basis.

During Phase I of this project, completed in February 2002, the Watershed Council's LTMAP working group created the LTMAP plan (download at right). To date, four of the six planned water quality and flow monitoring stations have been installed (see map at right).

Phase II tasks, which are currently underway, include establishing two more monitoring stations; creating a coordinated process to review, synthesize, and interpret data; and creating a publicly accessible database.
