Sacramento Watershed Coordinated Monitoring Program [SWCMP]
Description / purpose
SWCMP is a coordinated monitoring effort between DWR and Central Valley RWQCB. This program monitors ambient water quality at locations in the Sacramento River starting upstream of Lake Shasta and going south to Verona, and at the lower end of all large streams tributary to the Sacramento River. It is funded jointly by DWR Northern District Water Quality Section and the Central Valley RWQCB SWAMP.
The SWCMP is designed to meet the monitoring needs of the Regional Board’s Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP) and the DWR Northern District’s Water Quality and Biology section. Coordination allows both agencies to maximize the use of their limited resources.
