The major goal of this project was to check　the whole processes that influenced the monitoring data quality obtained from the “The Environment Monitoring of the Water Quality in the Northern, Middle, and Southern Area of Taiwan” program. This year, the monitoring data quality had already been reviewed and the related reports were submitted to Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) each month. The implementations of management, evaluating and analysis of data quality of environmental water were also finished, including stipulating the quality goals of monitoring data, reviewing and audition of the Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs) and Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) for the proposal “The Environment Monitoring of the Water Quality in the Northern, Middle, and Southern Area of Taiwan”. Also attending the working conferences of the plan, execution of monitoring on site sample collection works 200 times / 546 stations and verifying laboratory works 143 times /162 personal-count in 2013, 199 times / 543 stations of monitoring on site sample collection works, 150 time / 173 personal-count of verifying laboratory works in 2014, and 47 times / 120 stations of monitoring on site sample collection works, 43 times / 55 personal-count of verifying laboratory works so far this year (2015), held blind tests for 9 times, among them standard sample test were 18 sessions / 171 items in 2013, 23 sessions / 192 items in 2014, 10 sessions / 53 items in 2015, assessed the expertises of sample collection staffs and set up the list of qualified personnels, setting up the tabular forms for qualified measuring instruments used in sampling field. In addition, we’ve assigned a specialist to keep in touch with EPA for the monitoring of the water quality monitoring programs. For the establishment of environmental water quality monitoring annual report and information-services, we have already submitted our 2012,2013 and 2014 environmental water quality monitoring annual reports 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.
