CCWI
coordinates a citizen monitoring program in the Russian River, Salmon
Creek, and Petaluma River Basins. Citizen monitors are volunteer members
of neighborhood or watershed groups which are interested in watershed
protection. By monitoring local creeks and rivers, citizen monitors
learn about their watershed, help pinpoint pollution sources, and
identify widespread problems. CCWI trains citizen monitors in how
to use the equipment, and lends the equipment to them on a monthly
basis (like a library). For more information about quality assurance,
equipment calibration, and data analysis, please contact the CCWI
office. |
