Strategies for Monitoring Nonpoint Source Runoff, Water quality monitoring in most cases is labor intensive and expensive. Careful planning is needed to make sure monitoring efforts are designed to provide appropriate information with the level of confidence needed to address local watershed-planning goals and objectives.

Unnecessary monitoring is wasteful; while insufficient monitoring may lead to false conclusions or an inability to meet desired monitoring objectives.
