Water Quality Indicators for Reservoirs: Proceedings of a Workshop
Abstract
Effective environmental management is an emerging theme for the 21st century for all federal agencies. The Government Performance and Review Act (GPRA) of 1993 requires that all federal agencies, beginning with the 1999 fiscal year budget request, submit to the Office of Management and Budget and to Congress a strategic plan that establishes project goals and objectives. GPRA also requires implementation of an annual plan with performance measures to evaluate the effectiveness of management strategies in achieving these goals and objectives. This increased emphasis on performance-based management means that more effective monitoring programs are needed. Monitoring is the only feasible approach for evaluating the success and performance of project management strategies over time. However, the monitoring program will only be as effective as the measures selected to indicate environmental condition or change.
