Abstract
The network of sampling stations and sampling frequency in order to monitor water quality within a river basin is described. The accuracy and possibilities to detect long term trends are discussed in relation to the efficiency of the sampling programme. The development in Sweden during the 1980’s implies that moves have been made from the efforts towards uniformity which characterized the 1970’s to the introduction of local and regionally adapted programmes which consider the loading activities in each respective area. Therefore the recipient monitoring will be divided into basic and additional programmes.
