18 What is water audit validation? Level 1 Goals Outcomes Limitations Confirm interpretation of methodology Identify evident errors Assign correct data validity grades Correct data validity grades Recommendations for further validation Does not correct errors in raw data Does not study instrument performance Andrews, L., K.

20 How do you perform level 1 validation? 1. Collect audit and request supporting documents. 2. Examine initial performance indicators. 3. Validate audit inputs. 4. Re-examine performance indicators. 5. Document results. Andrews, L., K. Gasner, R. Sturm, G. Kunkel, W. Jernigan, and S. Cavanaugh. 2016/2017. Level 1 Water Audit Validation. Project #4639.

23 How do you perform level 1 validation? 3. Validate audit inputs. How did the auditor arrive at each input? How did the auditor interpret methodology? Which data validity grades describe operational practices? Does anything need to be changed to make the audit more accurate? Andrews, L., K. Gasner, R. Sturm, G. Kunkel, W. Jernigan, and S. Cavanaugh. 2016/2017. Level 1 Water Audit Validation. Project #4639. Denver, Colo.: Water Research Foundation.
