Data associated with each location is available for download and graphing. On this website, users will find the locations of DWM&S managed continuous monitoring activities – both long and short term, active and historical, as well as information specific to each location. Every two years, a new water region in NJ is given a comprehensive monitoring and assessment focus which requires new continuous monitoring site selection. (3) Generate data to be used in the New Jersey Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (Integrated Report). The North American Amphibian Monitoring Program (NAAMP) was a collaborative citizen science effort between the US Geological Survey (USGS) and 26 partners (state agencies, universities, and nonprofit organizations) for monitoring calling amphibian populations over much of the eastern and central United States. (2) Measure fluctuations of Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature to determine the ecological health of streams. Chlorophyll, Phycocyanin pigment, pH and Dissolved Oxygen are used to monitor the changing conditions of an algae bloom so that when needed, appropriate actions can be taken. (1) Support the Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Monitoring initiative developed to protect public health. This continuous monitoring data is used to: In some cases, the data loggers transmit real-time parameter values every 15 minutes. Data logger deployments may range from several days to many months and are located in lakes, streams, and bays throughout NJ. Enable programs to maximize fuel management, flight data monitoring, or special mission operations such as bucket drop tracking for aerial firefighting. Parameters measured can vary from unit to unit and may include Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature, Chlorophyll, Phycocyanin, pH, Turbidity, Specific Conductance, Salinity, and Dissolved Oxygen %. In addition to its many discrete monitoring programs, the Division of Water Monitoring & Standards (DWM&S) also manage numerous continuous monitoring activities that involve the use of short and long term data loggers throughout NJ in both fresh and marine waters.ĭata loggers are electronic devices that utilize sensors and probes to measure various water quality parameters 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
