Abstract
The water or soil samples of any stormwater treatment practice assessment effort must be analyzed in order to provide useful information. Depending on the characteristic to be determined, one or more analytical method may be available or required. This chapter introduces and discusses the most common soil and water parameters used in stormwater management and offers guidance to help the user select the most appropriate analytical method and incorporate precision and bias through a quality assurance/control program.
