Are you part of a monitoring program or citizen science organization that collects water quality data in Maryland? Would you like your data used in decision making? Does your organization need additional technical resources and advanced training opportunities? Would you like to learn about submitting your data to Maryland state agencies and federal agencies?

- Understanding different levels of data quality
- Determining the basic steps needed for data of known quality
- Finding technical assistance
- Integrating your data into agency databases and assessments
- Maryland’s Integrated Report and TMDLs
