Introduction
EPA's Office of Wetlands, Oceans and
Watersheds (OWOW) was created in April
1991. OWOW combines EPA's responsibilities
for addressing nonpoint source pollution,
restoring and protecting wetlands, lakes,
rivers, coastal and marine environments, and
coordinating surface water monitoring and
water quality assessment activities.

Organization
The publications in this list are divided into seven topic
areas. Each topic, except Bulletins, has two sections: General
and Technical. General publications can be easily understood
by the lay reader. Technical publications are scientific or
regulatory in nature and require an understanding of the
program area.
Q Wetlands: wetlands uses, protection and regulation of
wetlands

and estuarine protection programs
Q Watershed Protection: lake and reservoir protection and
restoration, basin-wide protection approaches
Q Nonpoint Source: prevention and treatment of
agricultural and urban runoff
Q Data Management: information systems documentation
and data quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)
guidance
Q Water Quality Assessment & Monitoring: citizen
volunteer, ocean discharge, bioaccumulation, and water
quality monitoring guidance
Q Bulletins: cut across all topic areas, disseminate
information to a targeted group of readers on a variety of
production schedules
NOTE: Topic areas are broadly defined. Publications are not
cross referenced. Since there may be some overlap, review the
entire list.
