Excerpt from Water Quality Monitoring at New River Gorge National River: Wrfsl Project Report No. 83-4p
The following report consists of suggestions and ideas presented to the staff of New River Gorge National River (neri) by the Water Resources Field Support Laboratory (wrfsl) regarding water quality monitoring. In addition to the impacts resulting from coal mining, the water quality of the New River and its tributaries is affected by sewage and other pollution. Since neri is used extensively for recreational purposes, the monitoring of water quality is an essential part of the park’s management responsibilities.
We believe that for most national park areas the most cost effective-and at the same time adequate monitoring scheme, involves the use of frequent in-park analyses of constituents useful for observing pollutants thought to be a problem, for example, the monitoring of bacterial indices to detect contamination of recreation waters. Less frequently, outside laboratories should run. More complete zuui more Sophisticated analyses to provide quality control of in-park analyses, to give an occasional overview of the entire water quality system and to provide the credibility afforded by some independent laboratory testing. This general water quality monitoring philosophy is suggested for neri in the report.
