National Pollution Assessment and Prevention Project

Pollution Assessment and Prevention Theme Team

The Water Quality Pollution Assessment and Prevention Theme Team is a network of Extension and other educators who promote self-assessments, voluntary actions and monitoring by private land-use managers and residents to protect and restore water quality.

The project goal is to facilitate integrated extension, research and education programs that enhance the quality, reach, and outcomes of voluntary water pollution assessment and prevention programs, particularly on farms and in homes.
