One of the key components of DRBC’s water quality management strategy is monitoring, because, quite simply, you can’t manage what you don’t measure. DRBC staff are active throughout the year monitoring the shared water resources of the Delaware River to ensure that the basin's water resources are being managed and protected and that commission water quality criteria are being met.

When opportunities arise, DRBC staff enjoy sharing this technical expertise with their peers from other agencies and organizations, as well as the general public.

DRBC Director of Water Resource Management Ken Najjar, Ph.D., P.E., recently participated in the Southeast Pennsylvania Regional Watershed Workshop hosted by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC). This was one in a series of regional workshops convened by PEC to identify needs and discuss available resources and tools with Pennsylvania's local watershed associations.

Dr. Najjar presented several key DRBC water quality management strategies that work to protect and improve the quality of the Delaware River. View Presentation: Managing the Water Quality of a Shared Resource, the Delaware River (pdf 4.5 MB)
