The purpose of the 2025 Klamath Basin Water Quality Monitoring Plan is to serve as a foundation for the continued collaboration within the Klamath Basin, by: 1) providing an important background on the basin, water quality issues, and regulatory actions that guide monitoring, 2) sharing the most recent monitoring efforts to help partners determine where and what additional water quality investigations are needed to answer questions for resource managers, and 3) providing summarized information about water quality monitoring to support improvements to data management, data sharing, and communicating science to resource managers and other water quality investigators. 

The monitoring plan, seeks to include all agencies and organizations engaging in water quality monitoring in the Klamath Basin. The Klamath Basin Water Quality Monitoring Plan is not intended to replace individual water quality monitoring efforts or autonomy, but promotes a coordinated monitoring effort in the Klamath Basin that benefits long-term coordination and collaboration, and enhances the ability to secure stable funding for these continued efforts.
