Community Based Water Quality Monitoring Program
Organization information
Waterkeeper Alliance Inc
Location: New York, United States of America
Summary
The Futaleufu River and one of its main tributaries, the Espolon River, are under increasing environmental threat from development. The Futaleufu Riverkeeper is working to establish the region's first water quality monitoring program to serve as the first line of defense against polluters. We will pair with Global Water Watch to develop a community-based monitoring system, in which local volunteers are given EPA-certified training to collect and analyze samples.
