observing macroinvertebrates collected from the Logan River, exploring their habitat
and discussing how they are indicators of water quality. Volunteers needed! Sept 10-14, 17-20. Contact us at waterquality@usu.edu or for go here for More Information.
New UWW website features
Running short on supplies? Stay ahead of the game and use our new order form. While we prefer to get all volunteers new supplies out at once before the monitoring
season, there may be things you need later in the year. You may also contact us -
waterquality@usu.edu or 435-797-2580.
Annual Volunteer and Partner Gathering
We had a small but fun group of volunteers and partners join us this year! There was
some excellent discussion about the sites volunteers monitor and about water quality
management in Utah.
It only gets more important as we move forward to have interested citizens and a strong volunteer base to help monitor Utah's waters.
Thank you volunteers!
CitSci Database
All of our June and July data have been successfully entered into the new database
location on CitSci.org. If you have any questions about data entry or accessing old
data, please contact us at waterquality@usu.edu or 435-797-2580. Also, see instructions here for joining, submitting and viewing data.
While there continue to be some bumps during the process, we are excited about the additional features the new database provides for easy data entry, including photos and some nice tools for visualizing the data.
