Water and wastewater monitoring and action plan
A test result is useful when you know where and when to obtain it and how to respond. We develop water and wastewater monitoring programmes that connect sampling locations, analytical scope and responsibility for the decisions that follow.
From a monitoring location to a decision on the result
We start with the monitoring purpose: process control, observation of facility impacts or implementation of documented conditions. The water and wastewater system, existing control points and available results are reviewed. Parameters and frequencies are proposed in relation to operating variability, stream characteristics and requirements confirmed for the specific facility, rather than a universal schedule.
The programme sets out arrangements for sampling, sharing results and evaluating findings. We identify operating information that should accompany each test so an unusual result can be investigated. The approach addresses comparison between monitoring rounds, missing data and signals requiring repeat checks, installation review or escalation to the person responsible for the next decision.
The action procedure helps prevent results being archived without interpretation. Responsibilities of the operator, coordinator and testing provider are distinguished, taking account of practical access to monitoring locations. Preparing a programme does not include completing an entire monitoring cycle; sampling and analysis require a separately agreed scope. Process changes may also require the programme to be revised.

What you receive
You receive a monitoring programme and a procedure connecting test results to follow-up actions. The documents specify control locations, parameters, proposed frequency, information flow and responsibilities. They support commissioning tests, comparing successive rounds and recording responses to identified problems, while distinguishing the agreed plan from field and laboratory activities required to implement it.
