The second objective was to characterize the current condition of water resources in the county. This was accomplished by monitoring streamflow and water quality in each of the major watersheds with continuous recorders. Water-quality samples were ... collected and analyzed for major ions, nutrients, Eschericia coli, and wastewater indicators. Four continuous ground-water monitors were installed in observation wells around the county, and a fifth well was monitored by periodic measurements. These results are documented in a data report, USGS Open File Report 2004-1417. Cultured E. coli bacteria and other fecal indicator bacteria were analyzed for their resistance to various commonly used antibiotics.
