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 153 times / 391 stations of monitoring on site sample collection works, 157 times / 193 personal-count in 2015, 200 times / 475 stations of monitoring on site sample collection works, 158 times / 178 personal-count in 2016, 192 times / 482 stations of monitoring on site sample collection works, 147 times / 150 personal-count in 2017, 49 times / 126 stations of monitoring on site sample collection works, 41 times / 44 personal-count in 2018, of verifying laboratory works so far this year (2018), standard tests for 11 times, among them standard sample test were 17 sessions / 73 items in 2015, 19 sessions / 97 items in 2016, 23 sessions / 177 items in 2017, 6 sessions / 59 items in 2018, assessed the expertise of sample collection staffs and set up the list of qualified personnel, setting up the tabular forms for qualified measuring instruments used in sampling field, execution of analytical research for 16 types of heavy metal-contamination 11 times. For the establishment of environmental water quality monitoring annual report and information-services with updates of the check list operating manual , we have already submitted our 2015, 2016 and 2017 environmental water quality monitoring annual reports, as for the check list operating manual ,data are being summarized and compiled, and a water quality conference was held on 2015/8/27, 2016/9/19 and 2017/8/18. 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.
