Stream indicator and design workshop
The primary objective of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program for Surface Waters (EMAP-SW) is to estimate - regionally and with known confidence - the status of, and trends in, indicators of the condition of U.S. lakes and streams. Given the objective, it is critical to document the process by which indicators are developed, evaluated, and eventually selected for implementation. The purpose of the report is to record the major conclusions reached in a workshop on stream indicators. Based on the independent assessments of the individual groups and review by EMAP indicator leads, the assemblages are ranked in order by total criteria score and then by critical criteria.
