Soil and water quality monitoring:
• The project will provide for the incremental equipment, staff training and operating costs for monitoring the impact of environment-friendly practices on the discharge of nutrients (N & P) into the water body.   Measurements of BOD and suspended solids will also be made.  MARA will  be responsible for monitoring at the level of the MC, while MOE will  be responsible for monitoring water quality upstream and downstream in the main river.  The central MOE laboratory in Ankara will  be used to calibrate samples taken by MARA.
