Gerð er grein fyrir stöðu stofnunarinnar nú og tekið saman yfirlit um gangnasöfn sem safnast hafa í gegnum tíðina. Þá er undirkafli á eftir hverri umfjöllun þar sem litið er til framtíðar, hver séu næstu skref og stefna sett til þess sem starfsmenn telja mikilvæg framfaraspor. Auk Inngangs er skýrslunni skipt upp í sjö kafla. Í kafla 2 Ólífrænir þættir eru teknar til mælingar á vatnshita, leiðni, sýrustigi, súrefni og rýni (gegnsæi) vatnsins. Einnig greiningar á efnainnihaldi vatns og svo kallað botngerðarmat. Þessum gögnum hefur verið safnað þar sem rannsóknir fara fram en vilji er til þess að gera þessar mælingar markvissari og hafa ákveðnar stöðvar á nokkrum stöðum á landinu við mismunandi vatnakerfi þar sem flestir þessara þátta yrðu vaktaðir. Í kafla 3, Lífrænir þættir, eru stærstu viðfangsefnum stofnunarinnar gerð skil. Þar er farið yfir vatnagróður (þörunga, mosa og háplöntur) sem er undirstaða í framleiðslu áa og vatna. Stutt er síðan skiplagðar rannsóknir hófust á þessu sviði hjá stofnuninni. Næsta þrep lífkeðjunnar eru fjölbreytur flokkur hryggleysingja sem lifa í vatni og nýta þörunga og plöntuleifar sér til viðurværis.
