8th Annual Snapshot Water Monitoring Day
Event description
Be a part of the effort to take a "snapshot" of water quality in our local water bodies!
Snapshot Water Monitoring Day volunteers are citizen scientists monitoring temperature, oxygen, transparency, bacteria, nitrate, phosphate, and pH levels. The valuable data collected by Snapshot Day volunteers is used to identify problem areas and drive action for clean water!
Monitoring sites vary from wetlands - to large streams - to small ditches through culverts on county roads. Sites have been assessed for their safety and difficulty to access - and we have a wide range for every ability!
Snapshot Water Monitoring Day is held by The Watershed Foundation with support from our partners; Kosciusko Soil and Water Conservation District, Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center, Lilly Center for Lakes & Streams, and the City of Warsaw.
