Stream Monitoring
A crucial aspect of improving water quality in the watershed, is UGWA's Long Term Monitoring Program (LTMP). The LTMP relies on Volunteer Water Monitors to gather the data that allows UGWA to secure funding for wastewater and restoration projects.
In addition to the LTMP, two Short Term Monitoring Programs (STuMPs) are implemented as well. The goal of the STuMPs is to monitor priority subwatersheds before, during, and after project implementation to gauge water quality improvement. Currently the subwatersheds with STuMPs in place are Winding Gulf and Devils Fork.

Famous quotes containing the word stream:
“The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?”
—Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)
