Methods for collecting benthic invertebrate samples as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program Methods for collecting benthic invertebrate samples as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program
Benthic invertebrate communities are evaluated as part of the ecological survey component of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program. These biological data are collected along with physical and chemical data to assess water-quality conditions and to develop an understanding of the factors that affect water-quality conditions locally, regionally, and...

Methods for characterizing stream habitat as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program Methods for characterizing stream habitat as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program
Stream habitat is characterized in the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program as part of an integrated physical, chemical, and biological assessment of the Nation's water quality. The goal of stream habitat characterization is to relate habitat to other physical, chemical, and biological factors to describe water-quality conditions. To accomplish this goal

Methods for collecting algal samples as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program Methods for collecting algal samples as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program
Benthic algae (periphyton) and phytoplankton communities are characterized in the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program as part of an integrated physical, chemical, and biological assessment of the Nation's water quality. This multidisciplinary approach provides multiple lines of evidence for evaluating water-quality status and trends, and for refining an...
