SUMMARY OF WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS , DEGRADATIONS , & PROGRESS TOWARD MEASURED REDUCTION IN POLLUTANTS
The City of Arlington assesses improvements and / or degradations in water quality by analyzing Clean Rivers Program ( CRP ) data . The purpose is to monitor changes in and to determine overall watershed health . Assessment of CRP data offers the most comprehensive view of watershed health as it captures chemical , bacteria , and nutrient indicators . Also , CRP program data is collected from sample sites in most of Arlington ’ s watersheds ( including impaired segments of the Trinity River ). An evaluation of the trends in the analytes measured can be used to assess water quality improvements , degradations , and progress .
