VOLUNTEER  WATER  MONITORING  DIRECTORY

In 1997, the Iowa Environmental Council published the Iowa Volunteer Water Monitoring Directory.  The Directory was intended to be a resource for educators, volunteers, policy makers, government agencies, the media, and others interested in water quality, citizen involvement, and environmental protection and enhancement.  The Directory provides information about current water monitoring efforts throughout Iowa.

As part of the IOWATER program, the Directory is being updated.  To have yourself or your organization included in the volunteer water monitoring directory, complete the following information.  Copies of the Directory will be available online and in paper format later this year.  For more information about the Directory, contact Jacklyn Gautsch at (515)281-4476 or .
