Events List:
May to October - Water Quality Monitoring on Lakes, Streams and Rivers in the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed.
WPWA works with the URI Watershed Watch program to assess water quality, and provide information for more effective management of critical water resources. The heart of the program consists of weekly measurements taken by trained volunteer monitors. URI Watershed Watch helps local governments, watershed, tribal and other organizations to recruit and train volunteers to become citizen scientists gathering detailed, quality assured monitoring data. Watershed Watch provides training, equipment, supplies and analytical services tailored to organizational needs, while meeting strict quality assurance and quality control guidelines in the field and in our state-certified laboratory. If you would like more information check their website at http://www.uri.edu/ce/wq/ww/index.htm or contact Denise Poyer at 401-539-9017 denisep@wpwa.org.
We are looking to cover a few more sites in our watershed. If you can't commit to the whole season you may be able to backup one of the regular monitors.
