World Water Monitoring Day
Earth
Team volunteers are joining the global community to play a part in World Water Monitoring Day.
World Water Monitoring Day (WWMD), a worldwide opportunity to positively impact
the health of rivers, lakes, estuaries and other water bodies, takes place on
Oct. 18. From Sept. 18-Oct. 18, volunteer monitoring groups, water quality
agencies, students, and the general public can test four key indicators of water
quality: temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity.
Earth Team members will receive a free water monitoring kit and information on
how to play a part in World Water Monitoring Day.
About World Water Monitoring Day
World Water Monitoring Day was
created with two major purposes in mind:
-
To serve as an educational
platform to introduce people to the importance of water monitoring and
connect them personally with efforts to protect and preserve their local
watersheds
-
To expanding the base of
information available about the health of each watershed over time.
Resources
World Water Monitoring Day
is coordinated by the Water Environment Federation and International Water Association.
