Biological Investigation
Biomonitoring is an important tool used to evaluate the overall health of surface waters. BCE conducts biomonitoring of benthic macroinvertebrates, organisms that dwell on or near the bottom of stream. These organisms can be used as surrogates to determine if stream and rivers are meeting water quality standards. Biologists from BCE also conduct fish population monitoring to evaluate the biological integrity of streams.
