Gathering information
Gather information in sufficient detail to plan the monitoring strategy fully and establish working practices if necessary.
Detailed information and planning at an early stage helps to ensure the monitoring runs smoothly and efficiently.
Think about documenting the following:
- historical information
- current conditions
- environmental characteristics
- source characteristics
Beware the magnitude of the problem may be hidden!
