2 19-Aug-2003MWMC presentation to NWQMC2 Long Term GW Level Monitoring Outcome of June 2002 workshop… The purpose of the workgroup is to evaluate existing ground-water level networks in Maryland in order to make recommendations for their enhancement and optimization development of an adhoc workgroup…

3 19-Aug-2003MWMC presentation to NWQMC3 Long Term GW Level Monitoring Workgroup goals… Evaluate current ground-water level monitoring networks. Make recommendations to improve the network based on monitoring objectives. Publish a report that documents the workgroup’s recommendations.

5 19-Aug-2003MWMC presentation to NWQMC5 Climate variability Ground-water use Ground water and environmental systems Ground-water research Water quality* *Currently not a direct goal of the workgroup Long Term GW Level Monitoring Objectives of Monitoring Network(s) in Maryland

6 19-Aug-2003MWMC presentation to NWQMC6 Make recommendations to improve the network by: –Monitoring additional wells –Discontinuing monitoring at certain wells –Changing the monitoring frequency Workgroup will produces a jointly authored report to Council Long Term GW Level Monitoring Recommendations…

7 19-Aug-2003MWMC presentation to NWQMC7 Organized in June 2003 Agency scientists and university researchers Planning for 2004 Workshop MWMC workgroup on integrated monitoring… Integrated Hydrologic Monitoring

8 19-Aug-2003MWMC presentation to NWQMC8 Integrated Hydrologic Monitoring Observations in a whole hydrologic system…

9 19-Aug-2003MWMC presentation to NWQMC9 Assessment questions addressed by integrated monitoring… What are the… –Effects of natural variations in climatic conditions on water levels and flow –Differences in hydrologic system responses in different geologic and climatic settings Integrated Hydrologic Monitoring –Effects of land-use and other human activities on hydrologic system responses –Effects of water extraction for water supply and other infrastructure on water flows and availability

10 19-Aug-2003MWMC presentation to NWQMC10 Morning general session/plenary will include presentations by Chuck Spooner (NWQMC) and Diane Rigas (invited, EPA) Focus on the assessment and monitoring aspects of urban, agricultural, and tidal restoration. 2003 Annual Conference http://www.mgs.md.gov/mwmc/
