Water Quality and Emissions
On this page:
The National Aquatic Resource Surveys (NARS) program has been monitoring water chemistry and reporting on the condition of water quality for over 15 years. These data may be of particular interest to efforts to construct natural capital accounts, such as those being conducted by the Interagency Technical Working Group (ITWG) on Developing an Environmental-Economic Accounting Classification. This 3-minute brief introduces NARS and some of the most relevant water chemistry data available to the ITWG.
