The Water Quality Archive provides a central repository for all data relating to water quality measurements that have since the 1960's been collected from over 22,000 sampling points, with 2,500 active today. Samples are taken from coastal or estuarine waters, rivers, lakes, ponds, canals or groundwater. Additional data has been provided by third parties as public record. The data measures a wide range of water quality parameters, such as nutrients, metals and physio-chemical determinants for both archived and processed data and these are used to assess discharge monitoring against discharge permits, investigation of pollution incidents or environmental monitoring. Whilst this data is used to meet the requirements of The Water Framework Directive and Bathing Water Quality assessments, the system is currently unable to record anything about compliance.

Repeat samples are taken from 2,500 fixed sampling points around Wales (and more than 22,000 historical sample points), the results of which were analysed by the Environment Agency's National Laboratory in Llanelli until 2016, and since then by Natural Resource Wales Analytical Services facilities based at Swansea University. Additionally, analyses are also completed in the field with handheld probes measuring common parameters such as temperature and pH.as well as derived directly within the KiWQM software from previously recorded parameters, as is the case for Dissolved Oxygen, Organophosphate and Total Oxidised Nitrogen.
