Abstract
In 1951 the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission instituted a program for systematic surveillance and appraisal of quality conditions and flow variations. Purpose of this program, which includes the operation of a network of forty-five monitor stations, is threefold: To provide a continuing record of vital information to aid in the diagnosis of stream conditions; to be alerted on pollution potentials; and to provide the facts for the formulation of control measures. A description is provided of the genesis of the project, of how the work is done in collaboration with volunteer monitors and the Geological Survey, of the manner in which data are prepared for evaluation, and of the cost of the operation.
