Welcome
to URI Watershed Watch
The
URI Watershed Watch program works with local communities to assess
water quality, and provide information for more effective management
of critical water resources. 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. Our comprehensive watershed-based
program focuses on long-term ecological monitoring of RI's fresh
and salt water resources including lakes, ponds, streams and
coastal waters. We provide 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. Click
