Environmental Data
Environmental Data, Data Quality Management, Standard Operating Procedures and Quality Assurance Project Plans
DEM is the repository of significant amounts of environmental data. This data provides information on the health of the water we use to drink, swim in and provides a home for the many aquatic species that call Rhode Island home. DEM also collects air quality data that monitors the air we breathe. DEM is also responsible for using scientific means to collect the data that is used in environmental decision-making. This web site is being developed to bring together information that is being collected by the department into one location.
