Organizations new to water quality monitoring will learn how to establish or improve water quality monitoring operations, improve the quality of data collected, and enhance training efforts. Groups with more experience in volunteer monitoring will be able to share their experiences with sampling, fundraising, establishing partnerships, and other topics. All participants will have an opportunity to network with members of monitoring groups and government agencies. To facilitate the participation of monitoring groups, lodging will be provided based on need, distance traveled to the workshop, and funding availability. Participants receiving lodging will be asked to share a room with one other participant.
Limited reimbursement is also available for travel costs.
Registration is limited. Priority will be given to local non-governmental organizations. Other Volunteer Monitoring opportunities Photographs from a 1997 workshop in Texas.
