Monitoring Success Stories
Volunteer
monitoring plays many important roles in water quality protection
and restoration, ranging from building awareness of a problem
or even just a waterbody, to document improvements resulting
from community action. We are typically so engrossed in
the daily activities that keep Watershed Watch running, that
we don't always celebrate the successes that our volunteers have
in their communities or even those that our program has at the
state or regional level.
This
page will provide an opportunity for us to share your successes
and to let you know how the dedication of our volunteers protects
and improves our critical local water resources.
Please
let us know when your local volunteers, lake association, conservation
commission, or other organization uses URIWW data, resources
or information to enact legislation, focus on a local problem,
participate in a local events or some other success that you
would like to celebrate!
These
links will bring you to a few of the many stories that highlight
just how important volunteer monitoring can be:
