URI
Watershed Watch Water
Quality Factsheets
URI
Watershed Watch provides information about water
to help local communities reduce pollution of water. Environmental
monitoring allows us to better understand water quality and the
impact
of human activities
in watersheds, which can result in
more effective management
of critical local water resources. URI Watershed Watch water
quality factsheets foster our goal of ensuring clean water for
everyone by providing concise,
easy to read
information
on
a variety water quality issues. Included in our monitoring manuals
as "Supplemental Information" the factsheets focus
on narrow topical areas, providing both in depth information
and extensive
references for those interested in learning more. Factsheets
are available here in pdfs and also in hardcopy form upon request.
We would appreciate proper citiation and notification in the
event you use a factsheet (whole or a portion) in your program
manual, newletter, etc.
Factsheets
Guide
for Growing Volunteer Monitoring Programs -
Includes 4 new
modules in 2012
URI Watershed Watch also works cooperatively
with Wisconsin Extension to develop the factsheet-based
Guide
for Growing CSREES Volunteer Monitoring Programs. Designed
in a modular
form, with a series of ‘chapters’ or
modules that can be used alone or in conjunction with other sections
depending upon the needs of your program, the purpose of this
guide is to bring together some of the excellent resources produced
by a wide variety of monitoring programs and agencies into a
comprehensive document to help support volunteer
monitoring
efforts. The guide includes frequent references and links to
a wide variety of materials from Cooperative Extension and other
programs from around the nation
and the world.
