Roadmap Workshop on Prioritizing Permitting and Linkages Research in Water Quality

This project held a roadmap workshop to identify and foster research priorities exploring the linkages between receiving waterbody water quality and inputs such as wastewater discharges, nonpoint sources, and internal intrinsic aquatic processes. It assessed the state of knowledge on linkages across the One Water sector, with a particular focus on the gaps between the sources of water quality impairments within a watershed, the impacts of those impairments, and the regulatory environment. This research enhanced the ability of the water quality community to participate in the development and implementation of water quality-based discharge standards for contaminants (principally nutrients).
