Air and Water Quality Monitoring

With only six air quality monitoring stations and no water quality monitoring stations available, the EPA has so far not been able to collect a sufficient amount of pollution data to give meaningful estimates on the evolution of environmental quality in Punjab. This DLI will measure results to improve this situation through investments and capacity-building efforts under the Program. Targets include EPA’s collection of air and water quality data from an increasing number of monitoring stations by the Program’s second and third year, as well as the establishment of a fully operational EMC by the fourth year with the capacity to analyze the data collected and carry out modeling exercises.
