Subject	Water quality--Oklahoma--Measurement. Water quality--Oklahoma--Mathematical models.
Purpose	The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released guidance establishing the “10 Required Elements of a State Water Monitoring and Assessment Program” (USEPA, 2006a). Among other things, the document states, “a State monitoring program will likely integrate several monitoring designs (e.g., fixed station, intensive and screening-level monitoring, rotating basin, judgmental and probability design) to meet the full range of decision needs. The State monitoring design should include probability-based networks (at the watershed or state-level) that support statistically valid inferences about the condition of all State water types, over time. EPA expects the State to use the most efficient combination of monitoring designs to meet its objectives.; In keeping with the environmental goals of the state as outlined in the comprehensive water plan, an effective long-term management strategy based on sound science and defensible data can be developed using this data. The four over-arching goals of the study were: 1. Estimate the condition of various measures of biological integrity for Oklahoma’s waters through a statistically-valid approach. 2. Estimate the extent of stressors that may be associated with biological condition. 3. Evaluate the relationship between stressors and condition for use in various long and short term environmental management strategies. 4. Assess waters for inclusion in Oklahoma’s Integrated Water Quality Report.
