Using monitoring data to assess groundwater quality and potential environmental impacts

The purpose of this Guideline is to assist with the assessment of monitoring data to manage anthropogenic activities that may impact on groundwater quality. The document provides guidance to department and other government agencies, consultants and proponents on the information required to assess groundwater quality and outlines a process to assess groundwater quality data and/or refine groundwater triggers from local data. It also discusses control charts and when and how they could be used as a means of assessing groundwater quality.
