Starting in 2012, UWW has trained 1,331 citizen scientists.

Some volunteer feedback:

"It (Utah Water Watch) is interesting and fun. We have had four neighborhood children join us this year."

"I enjoy learning new things, gaining new skills, and making a difference in my community."

UPCOMING EVENTS

For Educators

Utah Water Watch is an excellent link for teachers to citizen science.

Students gain experience monitoring and make real-world connections between watersheds and water quality. See our calendar for upcoming training and events.

All of the techniques used in our Tier 1 program have similar components to Stream Side Science (SSS), which is a curriculum designed through USU Water Quality Extension specific to Utah. SSS lessons are aligned to national and state science standards.

Check out the Stream Side Science website for lesson plans and information about workshops.
