| By request | Monthly Reservoir Sampling | The objectives of these efforts are to monitor the drinking water supply in NYCDEP reservoirs and guide operational changes in routing or water supply intake depth. | Sampling occurs on a monthly basis between April and November. The variables collected are Ammonia (as N), Apparent Color, Chloride, Chlorophyll a, Fecal Coliform, Total Coliform, Dissolved Oxygen, Ni trate/Nitrite (as N), Total Nitrogen (as N), Total Dissolved Nitrogen (as N), Dissolved Organic Carbon, Total Organic Carbon, pH, Total Phosphorus (as P), Total Dissolved Phosphorus (as P), Photic Zone Depth, Total Phytoplankton, Secchi Disk, Silica, Total Suspended Solids, Soluble Reactive Phosphorus (as P), Specific Conductance, Temperature, Turbidity and Total Plankton.

| By request | Quarterly Reservoir Sampling | This monitoring effort is a supplement to the routine monitoring, and also helps guide operational changes in routing or water supply intake depth. | Quarterly sampling occurs between April and November, with analytes collected in addition to the monthly samples. The variables collected in the quarterly sampling are Alkalinity, Dissolved Calcium, D issolved Magnesium, Dissolved Potassium, Dissolved Sodium, Calculated Hardness, Chloride, and Sulfate.
