During our professional activities in this field, we have noticed that many do not have the training or tools to successfully sample water quality, and we are often contacted regarding basic water sampling, laboratory, and data analysis questions. This book is meant to provide applied information that can be used to improve water quality monitoring programs leading to better manage- ment of our water resources. The book provides a wide range of water quality topics, from water quality regu- lations and criteria (Chapters 2 and 3) to project planning (Chapter 4) and sampling activities (Chapters 5 to 7). Water quality analyses are also detailed including field measurement techniques (Chapter 8) and laboratory techniques (Chapters 9 and 10). More contemporary issues in water quality analysis, such as emerging pollut- ants (Chapter 11) and uncertainty in measured data (Chapter 12) are also presented. Unlike many other water quality books, our book includes statistical analysis of data (Chapter 13), examples of water quality monitoring programs (Chapter 14), and dis- cussions of a video of sampling activities (Chapter 15) are also provided to comple- ment the material presented in earlier chapters. As water quality becomes a leading concern for people and ecosystems world- wide, it is critical to properly assess water quality in order to protect water resources for current and future generations. Water quality assessment depends on effective sampling and analytical procedures, as well as appropriate data analysis and presen- tation. All components of this process should be conducted with the highest of qual- ity and reproducibility. While this book does not contain every detail, it does provide the framework and information needed to further explore different components in the water quality assessment process. We would like to sincerely acknowledge all chapter authors and those that con- tributed to this book in many different ways. In particular, we would like to thank Sam Allen and Malcolm Sumner for reviewing most of the chapters; Waldy Klassen, Guodong Liu, Guanliang Liu, and Yin Chen for reviewing one or more chapters; Xiaohui Fan, Yanli Nie, and Huiqin Ren for formatting chapters and checking refer- ences; and Randy Brehm, Pat Roberson, and Gail Renard from Taylor & Francis, for their support and friendship. We would also specifically like to thank contributors for Chapter 15’s video who were photographer Ian Maguire and DVD editor Shaun Wright, as well as the organizers of the water quality workshop (Ed Hanlon, Pamela Fletcher, Teresa Olczyk, and Qingren Wang), presenters at the workshop (Nick Aumen, Joffre Castro, Ramon Garza, Jim Hendee, Ed Hanlon, Robert Johnson, Lee Massey, Miguel McKinney, Teresa Olczyk, Larry Parson, John Proni, Forrest Shaw, Dave Struve, Van Waddill, Qingren Wang, Dave Wanless, and Rod Zika), instruc- tors for laboratory analyses during the workshop (Rick Armstrong, Tina Dispenza, vii © 2011 by Taylor and Francis Group, LLC viii Preface Ed Hanlon, Guodong Liu, Kelly Morgan, Yun Qian, Janzhong Qiao, Laura Rosado, Grurpal Toor, and Guiqin Yu), and all workshop participants. We especially thank our spouses and children for their understanding and patience. Yuncong Li Kati W. Migliaccio © 2011 by Taylor and Francis Group, LLC Contributors David A. Alvarez Tammy L.
