Sound Science for Informed Water Quality Management
- Welcome!
SWAMP is tasked with assessing water quality in all of California’s surface waters. The program conducts monitoring directly and through collaborative partnerships; and provides numerous information products, all designed to support water resource management in California.

Statewide Perspective on Chemicals of Concern and Connections between Stream Water Quality and Land Use - Field Year 2008
This report covers the first annual survey and identifies chemicals of concern and the watershed land uses associated with their presence in California streams. The data collected can be used in a space-for-time-swap approach to estimate the effect that further land use change (such as increasing urbanization) would have on stream water quality in California. - About
