Basic Information
• Who performed the monitoring?• What was the purpose of monitoring?• Where was the monitoring performed?• What parameters were monitored?• When was the monitoring done?• How were the samples analyzed?• What were the results?• Go back to the QAPP!

Watershed Features and
Monitoring Site Locations
Use maps and figures to show watershed boundaries, monitoring site locations, and watershed characteristics (e.g., land use,
land cover) that “explain” the chosen locations of monitoring sites

Data Presentation
Keep it simple and make it clear
•To where and when do data apply?
•How do data compare with criteria and indices benchmarks?
•Are data summaries clearly linked to maps and basic watershed information?
•Does data presentation set the stage for report conclusions and proposals for follow-up activities in the watershed?
