Ground Water Monitoring

Protection Activity: Regulations and Permits

Ground water monitoring is the testing of ground water to define ground water flow, assess and characterize water quality conditions and trends, and identify potential problem areas. Ground water monitoring is required by law for certain sites and activities but can be helpful to identify problems for any site, land use, or activity that could impact ground water quality. Cities and counties can require ground water monitoring as a permit condition.
