Other in-situ measurements of interest in functional monitoring may include [[plants|plant growth/survival]], inlet/outlet [[water quality]] grab samples, [[Infiltration|surface infiltration]] in selected areas and various visual observations similar to those included in [[Inspections and maintenance#Assumption Inspections|assumption inspections]].
