- Begin Cycle II ground water trends network sampling.
- Continue work on study unit reports.
Water Year 2002
UCOL objectives for 2002 were:
- Continue Cycle II trend network sampling.
- Continue the archive of UCOL data and information.
- Continue work on study unit reports.
Water Year 2001
Cycle II of NAWQA began in water year 2001. UCOL objectives for 2001
were:
- Publish the UCOL summary report.
- Begin Cycle II trend network sampling.
- Continue the archive of UCOL data and information.
- Continue work on other study unit reports.
Water Year 2000
Water year 2000 was the second year of the low intensity phase (LIP)
data collection for the UCOL. The primary objectives for this year were:
- Produce the UCOL summary report.
- Complete NAWQA National Synthesis data requests.
- Continue LIP surface water sampling.

- Continue work on other study unit reports.
- Begin the design of the data / information archive.
Water Year 1999
Water year 1999 was the first year of the low intensity phase (LIP)
data collection for the UCOL. The UCOL NAWQA team goals for 1999 were
to comprehensively evaluate the data that was collected during 1996
through 1998. The primary objectives and priorities to be accomplished
by UCOL NAWQA during water year 1999 were:
- Complete high priority reports from the existing reports plan.
- Begin LIP surface water sampling.
- Document UCOL data collected during the High Intensity Phase.
- Enter selected well characteristics into GWSI and complete field
verification of land use and land cover characterization around wells
in land use study networks.
- Complete documentation and aggregation of remaining ancillary information
for basic fixed sites and wells.
Water Years 1996-1998
Water years 1996-1998 defined the high intensity data collection period
for the UCOL. Incorporating NAWQA guidelines, UCOL environmental settings,
and local, state, and regional interests; the objectives of the high
intensity data collection were to:
- Define the occurrence and distribution of water quality conditions.
- Associate factors such as mining, geology, agriculture, and urbanization
with water-quality conditions.

surface water, ground water, and biology are available below.
