The Monitor’s Handbook:
A Reference Guide for Natural Water Monitoring

A valuable 64 page reference guide for both beginners and veterans of water quality analysis in natural aquatic systems. Provides a comprehensive overview of monitoring streams, lakes, rivers, and estuaries. Contains information about physical, biological, and chemical factors and analytical procedures. Includes all information needed to establish a water quality monitoring program, and to interpret and understand the results obtained. The basics of waterway surveys, program planning, data analysis and reporting are also described.

The Water Quality Educator CD ROM (PC or MAC)

Provides step-by-step instructions for water quality test procedures using LaMotte test kits and sampling equipment. This interactive CD allows students to individually review the “how-to” instructions. Visual and verbal information is given via Quick Time® animations and still photos. This “pre-lab” activity prepares students for water quality testing in the field or classroom, and the material can be reviewed as often as needed. The CD provides benchmark data for each test factor, enabling comparison of results. Students enter data and receive information on the type of water quality indicated, as well as typical cause and effects of higher and lower levels, including macroinvertebrate bioassessment.

The Water Quality Educator and Monitoring Outfit is offered in three separate versions to satisfy varying needs and budgets:
