Water Quality Library
The Water Quality Planning Library was formed to support the mission and operations of the Montana DEQ's Planning, Prevention and Assistance Division, Water Quality Planning Bureau (WQPB). Early collections emphasized site specific water quality reports and data, while later shifts in the collection are emphasizing not only narrow site specific data but also a broader scope of water quality issues.
The total number of volumes in the collection numbers over 5,500. The holdings consist of a monograph collection, a journal collection of back runs of ecological and environmental related material, a collection of unique material relating to Montana, a small collection of special format material including videos, slides, photographs, maps, CD-ROMS, and a collection of educational materials.
