World Water Monitoring Day

KDHE Involvement

Since 2003, the Watershed Management Section of the Kansas Department of Health & Environment has coordinated World Water Monitoring Day activities in Kansas.  This coordination has included encouraging watershed groups, citizens, businesses, and other interested environmental organizations participate.  The Watershed Management Section also provided a free World Water Monitoring test kit to any individual or organization that agreed to register and sample ten different sites. 

Within the United States, Kansas has been a leader in this event for the past three years, and has been ranked in the top 5 for our water monitoring participation.  Kansas has been called "a wonderful example of how goals of World Water Monitoring Day can ignite the collaboration of local officials, volunteers and citizens and increase citizen awareness." Our goals however continued to be to reach the top, and be ranked #1 for sampling sites within the United States, and to reach a sample site high of 1,000 registered sampling sites.
