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.
For more information about World
Water Monitoring Day efforts in Arizona or the Earth Team, contact George Couch
