Thurston
County operates monitoring stations across the county to keep a close
watch on the condition of our water resources. The Environmental
Monitoring Program collects data on streamflow, groundwater conditions
in flood-prone areas, rainfall, and atmospheric data. Data is also
collected to help the county and its residents prepare for floods and
other natural disasters.
Monitoring in Lacey, Olympia and Tumwater is performed in partnership with city stormwater programs. Thurston County and its cooperating agencies use the data to track water quality in streams and water bodies, plan for development, and monitor changes in watershed characteristics after development has occurred.
