The New Jersey Center for Water Science and Technology (NJCWST) is dedicated to the study of water quality, pollution and technological solutions to environmental challenges. 

NJCWST houses a New Jersey State certified water analysis laboratory (#07105) offering analysis of water quality parameters in potable and recreational waters including phytoplankton identification and enumeration, cyanotoxins, fecal indicator bacteria, macroinvertebrate identification, water and sediment nutrients and microbial source tracking. NJCWST has worked with federal, state and local government agencies, drinking water purveyors, consulting firms, conservation groups, homeowners and university scientists.

NJCWST monitors and aids in the management of lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and other water bodies throughout the state of New Jersey, provides technical assistance to conservation groups, water managers, and municipalities in a continuous effort to keep water safe for drinking and recreation, ensure that seafood is safe for human consumption, and to preserve native ecosystems and designs environmental education programming for K-12 students and the general public.
