Water Quality Data Needs Clause Samples

Water Quality Data Needs. In rivers, the bulk of the solutes in the headwaters are derived from soils and groundwater baseflow, where the influence of water-rock interactions is important. Lower down the system or catchment, anthropogenic inputs from diffuse or point sources may be significant. A proper water sampling program will monitor changes in water quality of all waters in the region (starting as rain, ending in the ground, our bodies, or etc.) The number of sampling points for sediment and water quality monitoring strongly depends on the objectives. For trend detection, a low number of sampling points or mixing samples into composite samples can sometimes yield enough information. If spatial information is to be estimated, the number of sites will increase and composite samples will normally not be used. In general, locations in the main flow of the water bodies will be chosen for water sampling. All surface waters that are a source of drinking water should be monitored for water quality. Monitoring should be frequent enough to ensure that water is fit to drink and to document fluctuations of contaminant concentrations that may occur in the water. A representative fraction of streams in the region should be sampled. A proper sampling network will monitor natural streams outside of the impact of human development, and will monitor creeks and streams in close proximity to the urban interface. For watersheds where problems are known or suspected, the water quality should be measured using a network of sampling stations. Sampling for stream water quality should be conducted at or near streamflow gauge stations to allow the computation of contaminant loads.

  • Water Quality 8.1. The Supply shall comply with the quality standards imposed by the Act and the Water Quality Regulations, PROVIDED ALWAYS that where a particular standard is the subject of a legal instrument accepted or issued by the Secretary of State or the Chief Inspector of Drinking Water under the provisions of the Act or the Water Quality Regulations, compliance with the terms of the relevant legal instrument shall be deemed to be compliance with the relevant quality standard imposed by the Act or the Water Quality Regulations (as the case may be), in which case the Water Company shall provide the New Appointee with a certified copy of any such authorised departure or undertaking. Each party undertakes to keep the other party fully informed of any discussions which take place at any time hereafter with the Secretary of State for the proposed issue of a legal instrument and of the outcome thereof. 8.2. The Water Company shall act as a reasonable and prudent operator to ensure that the Water Company’s Distribution Network does not cause any contamination of the water in the New Appointee’s Water Distribution Network including suspending the Bulk Supply and, in any event, shall: 8.2.1. notify the New Appointee of the existence and cause (if known) of any contamination that it considers (acting as a reasonable and prudent operator) could affect the New Appointee’s Water Distribution Network as soon as practicable after the same have come to the Water Company’s attention; and 8.2.2. keep the New Appointee notified of the steps being taken to remedy the contamination. 8.3. Without prejudice to clause 8.1, the Water Company reserves the right to supply water of a different nature and composition or with different characteristics from that previously supplied where this results from the characteristics of the source or sources from which the Supply is taken, or the Water Company’s Distribution Network, beyond the reasonable control of the Water Company or if, in the due discharge of its statutory duty to supply water, it considers it necessary or desirable to do so acting reasonably and in good faith. 8.4. In addition, both parties agree to be bound by the provisions of the Water Quality Protocol or such modified version of such Water Quality Protocol as may from time to time be agreed in writing by the parties.
