Hoosier Riverwatch trains adult volunteers to monitor water quality in local streams, lakes, and rivers. Volunteers attend an eight-hour training to learn the basics of surface water quality and how to assess water quality by examining the physical site, determining the type of macro invertebrates living on the water bottom, and conducting several chemical tests. Hoosier Riverwatch also sponsors an Adopt A River program for stream clean-up. |
