MONITORING EXERCISE
Monitoring Programs
Monitoring programs is part of the management activities that is undertaken to ensure a fair assessment of the wetland functions in relation to its ecological and management requirements as well as confirming the water quality status of the lake. It is also done to measure the status of the operational objectives. The monitoring data is also important for management decisions and for future development program.
