In addition, we monitored the variation of environmental water’s Dissolved Oxygene on-site continuously and appointed a professional person to keep in touch with EPA for checking the water quality monitoring programs. In establishing environmental water quality monitoring annual report and information-services, we offering environmental water quality monitoring annual report and assisting with establishing environmental water quality monitoring e-annual report. During the executive process of this plan, it was requirement that the improvement and the necessarily processing program should be implemented by the contractors while a fault that might influence the quality of monitoring data was made from them. Moreover, from the executive result of this work, it revealed that the quality of data could be held effectively while personnel's technology and instrumental quality had been required rationally in advance. Generally speaking, besides of cooperating with this plan, if the contractors could strengthen self-checking even more, the promotion of the quality of monitoring data would be more efficient.
