Definitions for the Minimum Set of Data Elements for Ground Water Quality.

摘要

The policy statement establishes the minimum set of data elements for ground water quality (MSDE) to be collected and managed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ground water data collection activities. The underlying purpose of the MSDE is to more efficiently manage and share data within the ground water community, including States, local governments, the regulated community, EPA, and other Federal agencies. The policy applies to all groundwater data collection activities directly carried out by EPA staff and its contractors including those involved in research and development and enforcement activities.
