DescriptionIn 1992, the Bureau of Water Monitoring designed and initiated the Ambient Biomonitoring Network (AMNET). The goal of the program is to establish a network of lotic (running water) stations in each major watershed drainage basin. Each watershed drainage basin will be biomonitored for benthic macroinvertebrate populations on a five to six year rotation. Based upon existing database deficiencies, the area of the Lower Delaware River Drainage Basin was selected to be monitored during the 1995-96 calendar year. The area was sampled from the sources of its many tributaries down to the Head-of-Tide. This document reports the results of the analysis that was done on the collected samples.
