Title: Rhode Island: Department of Health

Subtitle: Interns Assist Rhode Island with Final Assessment Reports

Case Study Type: Assessment

Description: Rhode Island's Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) enlisted two interns to assist staff from the RI Office of Drinking Water Quality (ODWQ) and the University of Rhode Island Cooperative Extension (URI CE) in producing final source water assessment reports for all state TNCWSs and 17 large CWSs. The interns checked data accuracy across different media (paper files and a database), completed assessment templates with the proper language, formatted documents for printing, and proofread and edited the reports.
