About the document

This document is a summary of the Australian Guidelines for Water Quality Monitoring and Reporting (the Monitoring Guidelines). Both this summary and the main Monitoring Guidelines set out a framework that leads the reader through all aspects of a monitoring program: setting monitoring program objectives; designing monitoring studies and an effective sampling program; the laboratory analyses; the choice of suitable data analyses in conjunction with monitoring and sampling program design; and reporting of the results and conclusions.

Four case studies illustrate the monitoring process for river, groundwater, estuarine and marine situations.
