Little River Canyon National Preserve
Water Quality

The fundamental purpose of the National Park Service is to preserve unimpaired the splendor of the National Parks for the enjoyment of future generations. This mission includes protecting the water quality at Little River Canyon National Preserve.

To accomplish this goal it is appropriate that we test the water in the Preserve and surrounding areas. This information is needed to make scientifically sound management decisions regarding the water quality within the Preserve.

Water samples are collected and analyzed for total coliform and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria.
