Ground-water quality monitoring is necessary to assess trends in ground-water quality, detect or assess ground-water contamination, assess remediation efforts, and assure potability of public-water systems (PWS) using ground-water supplies. The monitoring networks included here are administered by federal, state, or local agencies within Alaska. The networks are arranged by region and, within each region, by monitoring type. Types of monitoring include ambient trend, site, and PWS monitoring, as described in Maynard (1988). Monitoring stations which are not contained in a public record are not available for inclusion here. Therefore, some historical monitoring may not be included. ~nformationis welcome pertaining to additional monitoring stations yielding publicly available ground-water quality data.

BOX 2420 Juneau, AK 99803 ph. 789-3151 COMMENTS: Regional list follow. Public water systems not using ground water are not included. Data should be used with caution because quality control is uncertain. .- These data are evaluated individually, rather than as a whole, with the objective of assuring the quality of water supplied by public water systems. For the purposes of this report, however, PWS wells are included as a network capable of detecting contamination. Some PWS data are usable in ambient trend monitoring also.
