AmeriCorps members spend a portion of their time out patrolling the rivers. Members conduct regular stream surveys to identify water pollution and other threats to waterways. Streamwalking can involve regular chemical testing of a specific site and general surveys of wildlife, and vegetation restoration projects. Water Watch groups are residents who adopt and regularly monitor and cleanup local waterways. AmeriCorps members work 45-60 hours a week and must complete a minimum of 1700 hours of service within 9 months.
