Event: 20th Annual National Nonpoint Source Monitoring Workshop-The Secret of Success: Making the Most of Available Resources |
|
The 20th Annual Nonpoint Source (NPS) Monitoring Workshop is an important forum for sharing information and improving communication for controlling and track NPS pollution at its source and in receiving bodies. The focus of the 20th National Workshop is cost-effeciency across a range of topics including planning and implementation of land treatment to solve NPS problems, water quality monitoring for NPS problem assessment and project effectiveness, data sharing for multiple purposes, and communication of NPS water quality issues and findings to the general public. This event will bring together NPS monitoring and management personnel from state, federal, Tribal and municipal governments, private sector, academia, environmental groups and local watershed organizations to provide examples of lessons learned from completed NPS projects, demonstrations of new technologies and monitoring approaches, and documentation of successful application of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Management Measures.
