World Water Monitoring Program for San Diego County Classrooms - Free Kits plus Limited Bus Funding

March 22 – December 10, 2011

The San Diego Citizen Watershed Monitoring Consortium, part of a worldwide effort to improve water quality, invites you to participate in the World Water Monitoring 2011 program. This program presents an important opportunity for every student to become involved on a local, national and international scale.

Student monitors will visit local water bodies to test for four basic indicators of water quality: dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity/clarity and temperature. Data collected will be entered into a global database that stores all information collected during the water monitoring period, between March 22 and December 10, 2011. Water quality experts from San Diego Coastkeeper are available to provide advice on site selection and data collection.

Teachers and students can join with local water monitoring groups and students abroad by registering at www.sdcwmc.org. Free test kits are available and bus transportation costs may be covered. Register Now!
