- n the local waterways.
- Educate decision-makers and the
public.
- Provide necessary data for state
stormwater permit reporting.
- Engage members of the public in
water resources & cultivate local water stewards.
- Identify impaired areas, provide
evidence for funding improvement projects.
- Meet up in teams of 2-4 individuals.
- Navigate to sites.
- Collect water samples.
- Measure in-stream water chemistry.
- Record flow measurements.
- Track water level changes.
- Identify any areas of concern or illicit
discharges.
- Deliver samples to lab.
