3RQ Research Partners

Led by the West Virginia Water Research Institute at West Virginia University, 3RQ Research Partners conduct monthly sampling to monitor the water quality of the three rivers basin, analyze long-term trends, and provide a valuable baseline dataset. Sampling takes place on the mainstem and mouths of major tributaries of the MonongahelaAllegheny, and Ohio rivers and includes a full detailed laboratory analysis of the samples. This detailed water chemistry and flow information is used to determine the loadings of Total Dissolved Solids and other parameters.
